Step 1
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
AA p30
We learned that we had to fully
concede to our innermost selves
that we were alcoholics. This is
the first step in recovery.

Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86
When we retire at night, we constructively review our day.
Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid?
Do we owe an apology?
Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once?
Were we kind and loving toward all?
What could we have done better?
Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time?
Or were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could pack into the stream of life?
But we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others.
After making our review we ask God's forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken.

We were now at Step Three. Many of us said to our Maker, as we understood Him:
"God, I offer myself to Thee-to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!"
We thought well before taking this step making sure we were ready; that we could at last abandon ourselves utterly to Him

SET-ASIDE PRAYER
“God, Please help me set aside everything I think I know about myself, the Twelve Steps, the Big Book, the meetings, my disease, and you God, so I may have an open mind an a new experience with all these things. Please let me see the truth.”
