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

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

Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.

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

Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and made amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others.
