The 12 Steps to Recovery for Codependents From: Choicemaking by Sharon Wegscheider Cruse 1. We acknowledge and accept that we are powerless in controlling the lives of others, and that trying to control others makes our lives unmanageable. 2. We have come to believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore enough order and hope in our lives to move us to a growth framework. 3. We make a decision to turn our lives over to this power to the best of our ability, and honestly accept that taking responsibility for ourselves is the only way growth is possible. 4. We make an inventory of ourselves, looking for our mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, volitional, and social assets and liabilities. We look at what we have, how we use it, and how we can acquire what we need. 5. Using this inventory as a guide, we admit to ourselves, to God as we understood him, and to other caring persons, the exact nature of what is within that is causing ourselves pain. 6. We give to God as we know him all former pain, hurt, and mistakes, resentments and bitterness, anger, and guilt. We trust that we can let go of the hurt that we cause and receive. 16 Steps for Discovery and Empowerment From: Many Roads, One Journey; Moving Beyond the 12 Steps by Charlotte Kasl Ph.D. 1. We affirm we have the power to take charge of our lives and stop being dependent on substances or other people for our self-esteem and security. 2. We come to believe that God /the Goddess /Universe /Great Spirit /Higher Power awakens the healing wisdom within us when we open ourselves to that power. 3. We make a decision to become our authentic Selves and trust in the healing power of Truth. 4. We examine our beliefs, addictions, and dependent behaviour in the context of living in a hierarchical, patriarchal culture. 5. We share with another person and the Universe all those things inside of us for which we feel shame and guilt. 6. We affirm and enjoy our strengths, talents, and creativity, striving not to hide these qualities to protect other's egos. 7. We become willing to let go of shame, guilt, and any behaviour that keeps us from loving ourSelves and others. 7. We can ask for help, support, and guidance and be willing to take responsibility for ourselves and to others. 8. We begin a program of living responsibly for ourselves, for our own feelings, mistakes, and successes. We become responsible for our part in relationship to others. 8. We make a list of people we have harmed and people who have harmed us, and take steps to clear out negative energy by making amends and sharing our grievances in a respectful way. 9. We express love and gratitude to others, and increasingly appreciate, the wonder of life and the blessings we do have. 10. We continue to trust our reality and 47
