12 Steps – Arizona Area CMA

A Simple Program

The 12 Steps of CMA

Through the Steps, we let go of our denial and learn to be honest with ourselves.

Step One

We admitted that we were powerless over crystal meth and our lives had become unmanageable.

Step Two

Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Step Three

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a God of our understanding.

Step Four

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Step Five

Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Step Six

Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Step Seven

Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.

Step Eight

Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

Step Nine

Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Step Ten

Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

Step Eleven

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with a God of our understanding praying only for the knowledge of God’s will for us, and the power to carry that out.

Step Twelve

Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to crystal meth addicts, and to practice these principles in all of our affairs.
