These steps form the foundation of the Alcoholics Anonymous program, helping individuals recover from alcohol addiction and maintain sobriety; we have modeled these steps to relieve ourselves of the Deep State
Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over the Deep State Addiction – that our lives had become unmanageable.
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.
Step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves; and our beliefs about the Deep State.
Step 5: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs while under Deep State control.
Step 6: Were entirely ready to have our God remove all these defects of character.
Step 7: Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings in our understanding of the Deep State.
Step 8: Made a list of all persons we had harmed while under Deep State control, 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 Him, praying only for knowledge of His 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 Anons, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
