• There's a power that will kill me.

• There's a power that wants me to live.

• Which do I want? (If you want to die, stop here. If you want to live, go on.)

• Using examples from your own life, understand that selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear control your actions.

• Tell all your private, embarrassing secrets to another person.

• Decide whether or not you want to live that way any more.

• If you want your life to change, ask a power greater than yourself to change it for you. (If you could have changed it yourself, you would have long ago.)

• Figure out how to make right all the things you did wrong.

• Fix what you can without causing more trouble in the process.

• Understand that making mistakes is part of being human (When you make a mistake, fix it, immediately if you can.)

• Ask for help to treat yourself and others the way you want your higher power to treat you.

• Don't stop doing 1 through 11, and Pass It On!!
