“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Alcoholics Anonymous<\/a> is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.<\/p>\n

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes.<\/p>\n

Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.<\/p>\n

AA meetings at St. Luke’s take place in the Assembly Hall Tuesdays at 7:30pm<\/p>\n

The Twelve Steps<\/p>\n

Step 1 – We admitted we were powerless over our addiction – that our lives had become unmanageable<\/p>\n

Step 2 – Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity<\/p>\n

Step 3 – Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God<\/p>\n

Step 4 – Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves<\/p>\n

Step 5 – Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs<\/p>\n

Step 6 – Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character<\/p>\n

Step 7 – Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings<\/p>\n

Step 8 – Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all<\/p>\n

Step 9 – Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others<\/p>\n

Step 10 – Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it<\/p>\n

Step 11 – Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God’s will for us and the power to carry that out<\/p>\n

Step 12 – Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs<\/p>\n
