Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to marijuana addicts and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.Ĭontinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.Īdmitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood God. We admitted we were powerless over marijuana, that our lives had become unmanageable.Ĭame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
