MY version of the 12 steps...

Anonymous started this conversation

While chatting with a friend about a previous post, I came up with another idea. I was familiar with the 12 steps - but to me, they were too wishy-washy. While I know they do have their place and work very well for most people, I felt there was something missing. So, I wrote my own version and I think they could apply to anyone in any situation. Let me know what you think and if there should be something added.

 

1.       I am powerful!

2.       I can restore peace and wellbeing to my life.

3.       I accept complete responsibility for my life and I am ready to change it.

4.       I put my needs and my family’s needs first, and foremost, in my life.

5.       I do NOT accept abuse or disrespect in my life.

6.       I will work to the best of my ability, everyday, to achieve the best for myself.  

7.       I will ensure my basic “needs” are met before I pursue the “wants” in my life.

8.       I will harm no one in my pursuit of wellbeing.
