Today, I ask for help with my addiction.
Denial has kept me from seeing how
powerless I am and how my life is
unmanageable. I need to learn and
remember that I have an incurable
illness and that abstinence is the
only way to deal with it.

I pray for an open mind so I may come
to believe in a Power greater than myself.
I pray for humility and the continued
opportunity to increase my faith. I don't
want to be crazy any more.

God, I offer myself to Thee, to build
with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I
may better do Thy will. Take away my
difficulties, that victory over them may
bear witness to those I would help of Thy
Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
May I do Thy will always!

Dear
God,
It is I who have made my life a mess.
I
have done it, but I cannot undo it. My
mistakes are mine, and I will begin
a
searching and fearless moral inventory. I
will write down my wrongs, but I will also
include that which is good. I pray for the
strength to complete the
task.

Higher Power, my inventory has shown
me who I am, yet I ask for Your help in
admitting my wrongs to another person and
to You. Assure me, and be with me, in this
Step, for without this Step I cannot progress
in my recovery. With Your help, I can
do this, and I will do it.

My Creator, I am willing that You
should have all of me, good and bad I
pray that You now remove from me every
single defect of character which stands in
the way of my usefulness to You and my
fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out
from here to do Your bidding.

Higher Power, I ask Your help in making
my list of all those I have harmed. I
will take responsibility for my mistakes,
and be forgiving to others as You are
forgiving to me. Grant me the willingness
to begin my restitution. This I pray.

Higher Power, I pray for the right attitude
to make my amends, being ever mindful
not to harm others in the process. I ask
for Your guidance in making indirect
amends. Most important, I will continue to
make amends by staying abstinent, helping
others, and growing in spiritual progress.

I pray I may continue:
To grow in understanding and
effectiveness;
To take daily spot check inventories of
myself;
To correct mistakes when I make
them;
To take responsibility for my
actions;
To be ever aware of my negative and
self
defeating attitudes and
behaviors;
To keep my willfulness in
check;
To always remember I need Your
help;
To keep love and tolerance of others as my code;
And to continue in daily prayer haw I can best
serve You, My Higher
Power.

Higher Power, as I understand You, I
pray to keep my connection with You open
and clear from the confusion of daily life.
Through my prayers and meditations I ask
especially for freedom from self-will,
rationalization, and wishful thinking. I pray
for the guidance of correct thought and
positive action. Your will, Higher Power,
not mine, be done.

Dear God,
My spiritual awakening continues to
unfold. The help I have received I shall pass
on and give to others, both in and out of the
Fellowship. For this opportunity I am
grateful.
I pray most humbly to continue walking
day by day on the road of spiritual progress
I pray for the inner strength and wisdom to
practice the principles of this way of life in
all I do and say. I need You, my friends,
and the Program every hour of every day.
This is a better way to live.
