Realize I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life has become unmanageable

 

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that God has the power to help me recover

 

Consciously choose to commit all my life and choices to Christ’s care and control

 

Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust

 

Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life, and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects

 

Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me, and make amends for harm I’ve done to others.

 

Reserve a daily time with God for self- examination, Bible reading, and prayer so I can know God and learn to follow His plans for my life.

 

Yield myself to God to bring this Good News to others by my words and the examples in my life.
