The "Twelve Steps" of Mutual Abstinence Association is a set of spiritual principles. If these principles are put into practice as a way of life, they can be used to give up alcohol addiction and let alcoholics live a happy and valuable healthy life.
In the first step, we admit that there is nothing we can do about alcohol addiction-it makes our life a mess.
Who wants to admit that he has failed? Admitting that there is nothing you can do is the first step towards liberation. Understand the relationship between humility and sobriety. Alcoholism is psychological addiction plus physical allergy. Why does every AA member have to be at the bottom?
The second step is to "realize that there is a power beyond ourselves that can restore our normal mind."
What can we believe? The mutual abstinence association has no requirements for faith. The "Twelve Steps" are just suggestions. The important thing is to open your mind. There are many ways to gain faith. Think of the mutual abstinence association as "higher power" See clearly the situation of disillusioned people, the obstacles caused by numbness and prejudice. Lost beliefs can be regained in mutual abstinence associations. Discuss the question of wisdom and conceit. Think about the negative and positive. Self-righteousness and resistance are prominent characteristics of alcoholics. The second step is a refreshing point towards normality. Establish a correct relationship with "God".
The third step is to "decide to entrust our wishes and lives to our respective understanding of' God'"
The third step is like opening a locked door. How can we let "God" into our lives? Desire is the key to the door. Dependence is a way to gain independence. Conceit is dangerous. Commit our will to a higher power. Will is easily misused, and it takes persistent personal efforts to reach agreement with God's will.
The fourth step is to do a thorough and brave self-moral reflection.
How instinct transcends its normal function. Fourth, we try to find our own debts. The basic problem of instinctive desire going to extremes. Misguided moral reflection may lead to guilt, exaggeration or blaming others. Assets can be recorded at the same time as liabilities. Self-defense is dangerous. The desire for introspection brings light and new self-confidence. The fourth step is the beginning of lifelong practice. The same symptoms of emotional instability are anxiety, anger, self-pity and depression. Introspection should check interpersonal relationships. Thorough reflection is very important.
The fifth step is to ask yourself from God and admit the nature of your mistakes to others.
Twelve steps to reduce self-awareness. The "fifth step" is not easy to do, but it is essential for sobriety and peace. Self-analysis is a long-standing principle. If you can't bravely admit your shortcomings, few people can stay awake. What can we get from step five? Start a real blood relationship between man and god. Get rid of isolation, get and forgive; Learn to be humble; Look at yourself honestly and realistically. Self-defense is very dangerous, how to choose the object of disclosure. The result will be peace and knowledge of God. Integration with God and man prepares us for the next step.
The sixth step is to be ready for God to remove all the weaknesses in our character.
The sixth step is very important for spiritual growth. The first step in a lifelong career. Know the difference between pursuing goals and perfection. Why do you keep trying. "Be prepared" is very important. Action is crucial. Procrastination is dangerous, and rebellion can be fatal. It is here that we give up our limited goals and move towards God's will.
Step 7 humbly ask god to get rid of our shortcomings.
What is humility? What does he mean to us? The road to true human spiritual freedom. Necessary assistance for survival. Criticize the value of self. Failure and pain are transformed by humility. From cowardice to strength. Pain is the price of starting a new life. Self-centered fear is the main reason for all kinds of shortcomings. The seventh step is to change our attitude, so that we can go out of ourselves and go to heaven.
The eighth step is to list the names of people who have been hurt by us and consciously apologize to everyone.
This step and the next two steps focus on personal relationships. Learning to get along with others is an extremely interesting exploration. Obstacles: unwilling to forgive; Do not admit the harm to others; Forgot on purpose. It is necessary to thoroughly examine the past. A thorough analysis will bring a deeper understanding. Be aware of all kinds of harm done to others. Avoid making extreme judgments. Look at it objectively. The eighth step is the beginning of ending isolation.
The ninth step is to make up for their mistakes as much as possible without hurting these people or others.
A calm mind is the first condition of good judgment, and timing is very important to make up for mistakes. What is courage? Caution means taking risks carefully. When I joined the Mutual Commandment Association, I began to make up for my mistakes, and my inner peace could not be at the expense of others. Caution is necessary. Be prepared to accept the consequences of your past actions. And take responsibility for the interests of others-this is the spirit of the ninth step.
The tenth step is to constantly review yourself and admit when you do something wrong.
Can we stay awake and emotionally stable under any circumstances? Self-examination becomes a daily habit. Admit, accept and patiently correct shortcomings. Emotional lingering pain. Solve the past, and you can face the challenge of the present. All kinds of self-reflection. Anger, anger, jealousy, envy, self-pity and injured self-esteem can all lead to alcoholism. Self-discipline is the primary goal. Put an end to "self-esteem". We should see both achievements and shortcomings. Check the motive.
