The AA Program: Recovery Through the 12 Steps
The heart of Alcoholics Anonymous is the Twelve Steps — a set of principles for achieving sobriety and building a fulfilling life in recovery. The steps are not a religious creed, but a practical guide for personal transformation. Many members describe working the steps as the most meaningful and effective thing they have ever done.
Recovery in AA is not just about stopping drinking. It is about addressing the underlying attitudes and behaviors that drove the drinking in the first place. Through the steps, members take an honest look at themselves, make amends to those they have harmed, and develop a daily practice of honesty, humility, and service.
