Can I take a hard look at myself?

Can I talk to my sponsor and my Higher Power about my life?

Am I really ready to have all my character defects removed?

Am I willing to ask?

Who do I need to make amends to?

Am I willing to make those amends?

Can I continue to take a hard look at myself on a daily basis?

Can I stop for a moment and pray or meditate?

Am I willing to practice these principles and help others?

If I answered yes to ALL of these questions I have taken the 12 Steps!
