Alcoholics Anonymous, The Doctor's Opinion


"The Little Doctor Who Loved Drunks"


A letter from Dr. Silkworth to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939

Dr. Silkworth defines alcoholism -

"Of course an alcoholic ought to be
freed from his physical craving
for liquor" - Big book XXVII


"We believe, and so suggested a few years ago, that the action of alcohol on these chronic alcoholics is a manifestation of an allergy; that the phenomenon of craving is limited to this class and never occurs in the average temperate drinker." - Big book XXVIII


(NEVER means not one time!)

STEP 1
We admitted we were
powerless over alcohol - that
our lives had become
unmanageable.


STEP 2
Came to believe that a Power
greater than ourselves could
restore us to sanity


STEP 3
Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the
care of God as we understood
Him.


STEP 4
Made a searching and fearless
moral inventory of ourselves.


STEP 5
Admitted to God, to ourselves,
and to another human being
the exact nature of our wrongs.


STEP 6
Were entirely ready to have
God remove all these defects
of character.


STEP 7
Humbly asked Him to remove
our shortcomings.


STEP 8
Made a list of all persons we
had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to
them all.


STEP 9
Made direct amends to such
people wherever possible,
except when to do so would
injure them or others.


STEP 10
Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were
wrong promptly admitted it.


STEP 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.


STEP 12
Having had a spiritual
awakening as the result of
these steps, we tried to
carry this message to
alcoholics, and to practice
these principles in all
our affairs.
