12 Steps for Folks with Eating Compulsions
 
   
12 Steps
- We admitted that we were powerless over food - that
our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over
to the care of God as we understood Him.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of
ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human
being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these
defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to
them all.
- Made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or
others.
- Continued to take personal inventory and when we
were wrong, promptly admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our
conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for the
knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of
these steps, we tried to carry this message to compulsive overeaters
and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
