Twelve Steps 

Jews Anonymous' twelve-step programme is a set of guiding principles for recovery from undesirable behavioral problems, originally developed by the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous ("A.A.") to guide recovery from alcoholism. The "twelve steps" were first published in the 1st edition of Alcoholics Anonymous ("The Big Book") in 1939; more than 25 million copies have been printed in many languages. This method has been adapted as the foundation of other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Marijuana Anonymous, Crystal Meth Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Emotions Anonymous. As stated in the Twelve Traditions, Twelve-step fellowships have no opinion as a group on issues other than personal recovery. As summarized by the American Psychological Association^[1], working the Twelve Steps involves the following.

• admitting that one cannot control one's behavioral problem;
• recognizing a greater power that can give strength;
• examining past errors with the help of a sponsor (experienced member);
• making amends for these errors;
• learning to live a new life with a new code of behaviour;
• helping others that suffer from the same addictions or compulsions.

The Twelve Steps

These are the Twelve Steps employed by Jews Anonymous:

1. We admitted we are powerless over our supremacist beliefs and thinking.
2. Come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity and allow us to embrace all of mankin, regardless of their heritage, nationality, religion or race.
3. Make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand Him.
4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admit to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly ask Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Make a list of all persons we have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.
9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admit it.
11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to fellow Jews, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
