The programs taught me about (1) admitting I was beat, (2) coming to believe in something greater than myself (eventually a higher power)(many evolutions and concepts
of HP, all
of these at one time or another: nature, the 12 steps, creator, Love, spiritual principles)(Step 3) applying my low self worth and gigantic Ego to these spiritual principles (4) write down my liabilities and assets (5) share them with another and my higher power (6 & 7) ask for the
liabilites to be removed and be patient with the process (8) Make a list
of all that were harmed by me (9) make amends to such folks except whn to do so would injure them or myself (10) take a daily inventory
of my day, checking for snafus, mean temperment, arrogance etc (11) meditation and prayer to communicate to my higher power and quiet reflection to listen for the Truth (12) after having a spiritual awakening as a result
of working these steps, help others if they wish for help because now I am in the position to assist.
