Steps to Freedom from Addiction
STEP 1 – As a spiritual being, I recognize that my ego is not the real me
and has no real power.
STEP 2 – Underlying and giving rise to my ego is a field of awareness
with infinite possibilities. Surrendering to this field within myself, I
become safe, centered, and balanced, and I am capable of making life-
supporting choices.
STEP 3 – I commit to expand my internal reference point from an ego
seeking control and approval to a unique expression of universal Being.
STEP 4 – I commit to exploring, healing, and transforming the hidden
dimensions of my heart and soul through the regular practice of
recapitulation.
STEP 5 – I commit to cultivating nourishing relationships with others
and with myself, so I am able to make healthy choices without the
burden of regret, resentment, or grievance.
STEP 6 – I commit to accessing the aspect of my being that transcends
the duality of my nature, so I may consciously choose to express those
qualities that resonate with my higher self.
STEP 7 – I commit to acknowledging the light and dark elements of my
nature as an expression of a deeper reality. Accepting my capacity for
duality and unity empowers me to make life-supporting, evolutionary
choices.
STEP 8 – I commit to taking responsibility for the choices I have made
that had unintended consequences, including creating pain for others
and myself.
STEP 9 – I commit to a life of healing and transformation. Through my
thoughts, words, and actions, I will demonstrate my awareness of the
interrelatedness of life.
STEP 10 – I commit to a spiritual practice of responding to life with
greater awareness so my choices will be increasingly life supporting.
STEP 11 – Through meditation and reflective self-inquiry, I commit to
immersing myself in expanded awareness and to thinking and behaving in
the world as an expression of the universe.
STEP 12 – I commit to exploring the sacred dimensions of my soul and
expressing my higher qualities in my relationships with others and myself.
