The 12-Steps
Step 1 - HONESTY
Admit that you, of yourself, are powerless to overcome your addictions and that your life has become unmanageable.
Step 2 - HOPE
Come to believe that the power of God can restore you to complete spiritual health.
Step 3 - TRUST IN GOD
Decide to turn your will and your life over to the care of God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.
Step 4 - TRUTH
Make a searching and fearless written moral inventory of yourself.
Step 5 - CONFESSION
Admit to yourself, to your Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, to proper priesthood authority, and to another person the exact nature of your wrongs.
Step 6 - CHANGE OF HEART
Become entirely ready to have God remove all your character weaknesses.
Step 7 - HUMILITY
Humbly ask Heavenly Father to remove your shortcomings.
Step 8 - SEEKING FORGIVENESS
Make a written list of all persons you have harmed and become willing to make restitution to them.
Step 9 - RESTITUTION AND RECONCILIATION
Wherever possible, make direct restitution to all persons you have harmed.
Step 10 - DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY
Continue to take personal inventory, and when you are wrong promptly admit it.
Step 11 - PERSONAL REVELATION
Seek through prayer and meditation to know the Lord’s will and to have the power to carry it out.
Step 12 - SERVICE
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, share this message with others and practice these principles in all you do.
