If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you’ve probably heard of the 12 steps. So, what are the 12 steps, exactly? Of course, it may seem daunting to go through these to conquer addiction. Remember, though, it all starts with a single step.
What are the 12 Steps?
The 12-step model is a well-known, effective treatment program for all types of addiction. In essence, the 12 steps are:
- Admitting you are powerless to your addiction
- Believing a higher power will help
- Allowing your higher power to take control
- Taking personal inventory of yourself
- Admitting to yourself, others, and your higher power when you’re wrong
- Allowing your higher power to address any personal shortcomings
- Allowing your higher power to remove these shortcomings
- Understanding how you’ve wronged others and the willingness to make amends
- Reaching out to those you’ve hurt, as long as the contact doesn’t harm them
- Continually taking personal inventory, recognizing, and admitting when you’re wrong
- Seeking connection with your higher power through meditation, prayer etc.
- Taking the 12-step message to those who need it
Recovery begins with these 12 steps. If you’ve tried recovering before and didn’t reach the finish line, there’s still hope. The right addiction treatment center is here, and we’re ready to help.
