More AA stuff.

Here is the original AA 12 steps. Below is my redaction of them, from a Left Hand Path perspective. Take them as you will.

1. Admit you have a problem, but realize that you have the power to overcome it.

2. Know that you have to do the work yourself, no force outside yourself can do it for you.

3. Make a decision to take control of your life, become the master of your own destiny.

4. Make an accurate assessment of yourself, recognizing your weaknesses AND strengths, and decide what you want to change about yourself.

5. Acknowledge what mistakes you have made in the past, and move past them, realize that dwelling on the past won't get you anywhere.

6. Ready yourself to change your life for the better, to repair whatever defects of character you think you have.

7. Work towards correcting your shortcomings, have the confidence to know you can change yourself if you desire.

8. Take responsibility for your actions, and make amends for those in the past where necessary.

9. Make direct amends to people you have wronged, and hold those responsible who have wronged you.

10. Maintain an accurate assessment of your progress. When you make mistakes, make amends, and when you do something right, reward yourself.

11. Seek through meditation and reflection to gain an understanding of your will, and to KNOW that your life is under your control. You have the power to change yourself, and no one and nothing can take that away from you.

12. Decide for yourself if you want to help other people to learn how to regain control of their lives as you have.
