Members of Alcoholics Anonymous make a point of carrying the message about their own recovery in A.A. on a person-to-person basis but never disclose the membership of others. In this way, they may serve as examples of recovery and thus stimulate active alcoholics to seek help.  

Here are the steps suggested as a program of recovery:

                        The Alcohol Anonymous twelve step program

 Step One:     We admitted we were powerless over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable

Step Two:     Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Step Three:     Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

  Step Four:  Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 

  Step Five: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the  exact  nature of  our  wrongs.

Step Six:     Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Step Seven:     Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 

Step Eight: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Step Nine:     Made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Step Ten:     Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

Step Eleven:     Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

Step Twelve:     Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
