First, identify a situation in your personal or work life that is currently a source of resentment, fear, sadness of anger. Write a brief statement describing the situation and indicating why it concerns you.
Step One: In what ways are you powerless over the situation or condition, and how is it showing you the unmanageability of your life?
Step Two: How do you see your Higher Power as assisting you in being restored to wholeness?
Step Three: How does being willing to turn your life and your will over the care of God assist you in dealing with this?
Step Four: What character traits have surfaced (for example, fear of abandonment or authority figures, seeking control, seeking approval, obsessive/compulsive behavior, rescuing, taking inappropriate responsibility, not expressing feelings)?
Step Five: Admit your wrongs to God, to yourself, and to another human being.
Step Six: Are you entirely ready to work in partnership with God to remove your defective behaviors? If not, explain why.
Step Seven: Can you humbly ask God for help in removing your shortcomings? If not, what stands in your way?
Step Eight: Make a list of persons who are being harmed by your behaviors.
Step Nine: What amends are necessary, and how will you make them?
Step Ten: Review the Steps listed above to be sure nothing has been overlooked.
Step Eleven: Take a moment for prayer and meditation, asking for knowledge of God's will for you. What did you discover?
Step Twelve: How can your understanding and spiritual guidance assist you in dealing with the problem you identified?
