Admitted we were powerless over our dual diagnosis and that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a higher power could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood him
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God and to ourselves and another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs.
We are entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character.
Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
Made a list of person(s) we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all
Made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
Continued to take personal inventory and when wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, Praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps we tried to carry this message to others who are dually diagnosed and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
