12-Steps for Sobriety, Strength and Sakoon (recovering from addiction)

The 12-Step program was created by two alcoholics looking to recover from their addictions in a wholesome way by first admitting: powerlessness. As a Muslim when you submit to God you show that you cannot survive without Him, you depend on Him to help you to recover from whatever addiction is eating at you. Whether it be smoking, pornography, crime, theft or the internet, taking two minutes to read the following may just be the first step to quitting. For real.

Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God
Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
Step 5 - Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs
Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character
Step 7 - Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings
Step 8 - Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all
Step 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
Step 10 - Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it
Step 11 - Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out
Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
