The 12 steps where created by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous which was
started in 1935. These groups also include Cocaine Anonymous and Narcotics

powerless over their addiction and that their lives have become unmanageable.
Also addicts are to put their faith in a higher power, one greater than themselves
and be willing to make an amends to all they have done wrong whenever safe
and possible to do so. Members of the program should also attend 12 step meetings
regularly and take staying sober one day at a time. These anonymous groups
are fellowships of people who share their experiences, and hope with fellow
