12 Steps
1. We admitted we were powerless over food -- that our lives had become
unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us
to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
God as we
understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact
nature
of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of
character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make
amends
to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
do so would
injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it.
11. 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.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we
tried to carry
this message to compulsive overeaters, and to practice
these principles in all
our affairs.
