| 1. | We admitted we were powerless over our compulsive behavior with food - that our lives had become unmanagable. |
| 2. | Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. |

| 8. | Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. |
| 9. |
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. |
| 10. | Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. |
| 11. |
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. |

"Rarely have we seen a person fail who has
thoroughly followed our path. Those who do
not recover are people who cannot or will not
completely give themselves to this simple program ...

incapable of being honest with themselves."
