The twelve steps were originally written by two drunks. It was the beginning of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now it is used for drug addictions, over eaters, etc. Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over----and that our lives have become unmanageable Step2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Step3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to to care of God as we understood him. Step4. made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Step 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.Step 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Step 7. Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings. Step 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Step 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible except when to do so would injure them or others. Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Step 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. Step 12.Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Man always tries to put limitations on an Infinite Creator.
12 Steps.
5 Pillars.
8-Fold Path.
I don't believe in limitations like this. Like you "have" to follow these,
and there are no other alternatives!

No Idea, I thought it had something to do with AA. I think it is wise to stick tot he Bible for spiritual direction.
