Alcoholics Anonymous - Steps 1, 2 and 3

Step 1
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.

AA page 30
We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in recovery.


Step 2
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.


AA page 47
We needed to ask ourselves but one short question. "Do I now believe, or am I even willing to believe, that there is a Power greater than myself?"

Step 3
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.

AA page 63
"God, I offer myself to Thee-to build with me and to do with me as
Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!"
