The
12 Steps |
|
- We admitted
we were powerless over our creativity -- that our lives had
become unmanageable.
- Came to
believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us
to sanity.
- Made a
decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
God as we understood Him.
- Made a
searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted
to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature
of our wrongs.
- Were entirely
ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly
asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a
list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make
amends to them all.
- Made direct
amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so
would injure them or others.
- Continued
to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted
it.
- 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 that out.
- Having
had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried
to carry this message to artists, and to practice these principles
in all our affairs.
