The Details...
Steps # 1 & 2:
We come to see our need for help and commit our hearts to a better view that can include ongoing efforts in the development of these connections as the first basis of our lives.
If we do look at including something more into our lives such as true connection with self, life, and "something Greater" than the visible world, then this can help. Though we may have doubts, we soon see that the "hoops" we are to "jump through" are as roomy and vast as the Spirit of life itself...We take the time we need, using logic, self- questioning and other tools to be sure our hearts and minds are fully with us in making these commitments.
# 3. We work to develop a stronger connection to honesty, unselfishness, purity and love as the primary basis of our lives. When we look to this new way of life, we often find that the help comes amazingly fast.
Step # 5--
We take a full personal inventory of our true nature and our gifts, graces, and "baggage" through life.
• Using a format that helps us focus on our own misnomers, weaknesses and strengths, we write out our mis- connections regarding our past and present relationships and attitudes including:
People-- families, friends, partners, parents, authority figures, co-workers, etc. We look at
anything we have used as a drug or escape that has been a problem or potential problem in our lives;
substances, money, drugs, food, sex, fantasy, etc.
We write about our challenging issues:
Step # 6. We share our personal inventory with someone we trust, opening to feedback, self- acceptance, forgiveness, and correction.
• This step in itself is freeing; many of us have considered some things too personal to share;
"getting it out"-- and being accepted anyway-- is a big release for most of us.

We write about our challenging issues:
- Feelings: We write about our anger and resentments, fears, values, loves, etc.
- A Higher Power:-- if we decide to use this valuable tool, we may need to look at our conceptions and their roots; our limitations and our choices today.
- We write about our victories, strengths, weaknesses or failings, and the positives in our lives that we can rely on. If writing is a problem, we ask for help.
- Writing is a valuable tool that helps us advance strongly. Often, previously unseen patterns emerge that are key to our mis-connections and to creating a better life.
- Seeing the truth of who we are and our choices often means we must write them out on paper. This action often
Step # 6. We share our personal inventory with someone we trust, opening to feedback, self- acceptance, forgiveness, and correction.

Righting our Issues and Creating a new life--
( Steps #7- 10 )
7. We let go of our defects and the past, asking for help to move on and live a better way.
8. We make amends to those we may have harmed including ourselves as appropriate.
9. We plan and develop a better way of life, embracing love, unselfishness, honesty, purity of motive and striving.
10. We continue placing daily attention to practicing and progressing in our principles, taking daily inventory, amending issues promptly as they arise, asking for help as needed and extending it to others seeking such a path.
• Again-- We don't do any of this alone-- having help from another who has done this step helps us separate out what may be helpful from the harmful.
• Our ongoing "inventory" or dailies may include questions to help bring our thinking and values into line with healthy thinking and our world, ie.: "What feels true to me?" "On what basis do i believe this?" "Is it true?" " How do I live my life in regards to that-- or not?", "How can I change this?", etc.....
One's "Daily Plan" for living may include abstinence from problem behaviors or ways of thinking. We substitute positive activities, and re-program better attitudes through practices such as meditation, gratitude, self- nurturing and the like.
The key to self-mastery is "self- forgetting"--
but we must first "remember" the truth of who we are.
Sharing the steps with others is vital in learning, growing, and stay active in
self- growth and the path of the Truthful Heart,. Our inner explorations are never fully done.
There is always room for growth, and in this our hearts are truly filled.
"Progress, not Perfection" is our goal.
