Step Ten:“Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.”

For the wise have always known that no one can make much of his life until self-searching becomes a regular habit, until he is able to admit and accept what he finds, and until he patiently and persistently tries to correct what is wrong.

Step Eleven: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry it out.”

In A.A. I have found that the actual good results of prayer are beyond question.

Curious....what happens if you aren't religious/believe in "God"(whatever that means).....

Can the "program" still help you? Can you skip that part? Serious question.

One has to be completely :censored2:ed up to come on BC (or any such SM site) and recite AA steps for no apparent reason. Do you not realize how you are degrading a serious program? You may be a Dog Day Afternoon kind of guy...

It may eventually help 1 person, who knows.

If you don’t like the discussion topic, you may be more comfortable in a different discussion thread.

No, In what way?

I don’t know what this means.

“We know that little good can come to any alcoholic who joins A.A. unless he has first accepted his devastating weakness and all its consequences.”

In the first two Steps we were engaged in reflection. We saw that we were powerless over alcohol, but we also perceived that faith of some kind, if only in A.A. itself, is possible to anyone. These conclusions did not require action; they required only acceptance.

Steps 3-12 call for affirmative action, for it is only by action that we can cut away the self-will which has always blocked the entry of God—or, if you like, a Higher Power—into our lives.
