Cult Steps

The Twelve Step Programme (a revised version) – as interpreted by the Visions cult (Short Form)
 

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives needed to be managed by our Sponsor.

2. Came to believe that our Sponsor could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the direction of our Sponsor.

4. Had our Sponsor make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to our Sponsor the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have our Sponsor remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him (our Sponsor) to remove our shortcomings.

8. Had our Sponsor instruct us in composing a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others or would run contrary to our Sponsor’s directions.

10. Continued to have our Sponsor take our personal inventory and when we were wrong this would be promptly pointed out to us and corrected by our Sponsor.

11. Sought through consultation and direction to improve our conscious contact with our Sponsor, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of our Sponsor, we insisted on carrying His message to alcoholics, and to ensure that they practised these principles in all their affairs (under the direction of their Sponsor).
