THE 12 STEPS

We use the Life Recovery Bible and workbook

The Twelve Steps of Life Recovery are a set of biblical principles in addiction treatment that outline a course of action for tackling problems such as drug and alcohol addiction, overeating, sex addiction, and more. There are 12 Christian Foundations that Life Recovery is based on.

  1. We admitted that we were powerless over our problems and that our lives had become unmanageable. 
  2. We admitted that we were powerless over our problems and that our lives had become unmanageable. “I know that nothing
  3. We made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God.
  4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
  5.  We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
  6. We were entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character
  7. We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings
  8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
  9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  10. We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
  11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry it out.
  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
