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