12 Steps for Gamblers Anonymous
- We admitted we were powerless over gambling - that our
lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could
restore us to a normal way of thinking and living.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the
care of this power of our own understanding.
- Made a searching and fearless moral and financial inventory
of ourselves.
- Admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact
nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have these defects of character
removed.
- Humbly asked God (of our understanding) to remove our
shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing
to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except
when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continued to take personal inventory and when we were
wrong, promptly admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our
conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for the
knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having made an effort tom practice these principles in all
our affairs, we tried tocarry this message to other compulsive gamblers.
