"1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable?.and we are totally fine with that.



2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity?

but figured if a Power could do that, then it could easily create a Flinstone's chewable, liver rejuvenation pill.

 
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him?as long as he is buying.



4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves?

and promptly lost the paper work.

 
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our

wrongs ?right before our flight home from Vegas.



6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character?

but then we realized how boring we?d be and decided against it.



7. We humbly asked  Him to remove our shortcomings?. and the brain cells that control the  hangovers.



8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed,  and became willing to make amends to

them all?if only they hadn't deserved it.



9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would

injure them or others?or somehow make us look like Animals(the idiot that posts here).



10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it?except when discussing sports, religion, politics and who bought the last round.



11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as

we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out?but after all that seeking we were parched and figured a really good bloody- mary could do pretty much the same thing.

 
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs?but the first few addicts were real downers so we decided it was better left alone.



13 Stop whining and just deal with it in the morning like the rest of us. "

Yes priceless
