Basic Steps in Recovery

Step 1 HONESTY (admitting that we can’t or shouldn’t drink or use…owning our truth)

Step 2 HOPE (things can and will be different for the better if we are sober)

Step 3 FAITH (being patient with ourselves and the sober journey)

Step 4 COURAGE (keep walking down the path of sobriety even when there’s obstacles in our way)

Step 5 INTEGRITY (keep doing the right things regardless of other people and circumstances)

Step 6 WILLINGNESS (not fighting the process of sobriety but being in the moment- whatever it brings, and making changes to be the best version of ourselves)

Step 7 HUMILITY (being grateful that many resources help keep us sober, not just ourselves)

Step 8 SELF-DISCIPLINE (knowing what we can and can’t do on our journey- not playing games, striving for progress)

Step 9 LOVE FOR OTHERS (showing compassion because everyone is fighting some kind of battle, getting out of ourselves)

Step 10 PERSEVERANCE (trudging through difficulties and staying focused on our sobriety)

Step 11 SPIRITUAL AWARENESS (open-minded enough to the idea that something else besides us is running the show and we’ve fought the odds to be here for a purpose)

Step 12 SERVICE (helping others by getting outside ourselves where ever possible)
