I agree with Tommy wholeheartedly and I myself have seen some pretty "out there" versions of said list.
In early sobriety when sharing, I loved to harp on about "my list" of principles. Ha! I didn't have any principles YET are you kidding me! But just try telling THAT to a 'third year wonder" such as myself. Now, at 28, I still have a list, sure, and it has evolved a lot and I DO still think that my list is the only correct one BUT I also know that to even think it's official would make me more full of dung than an outdoor AA meeting in a horse stable. ;)
But for fun, here's my current "official" (drunk junk) list, current as of 28 years of sobriety (not so important) and One Day At A Time (critical):
STEP 1) Honesty and Surrender
STEP 2) Hope
STEP 3) Faith
STEP 4) Courage
STEP 5) Trust
STEP 6) Acceptance
STEP 7) Humility
STEP 8) Willingness
STEP 9) Love and Mercy
STEP 10) Recovery and Perseverance
STEP 11) Unity and Service
STEP 12) Integrity
And they all combine into one more principle: "Sound Judgement" which happens to be the dictionary definition of the word "Sanity". And I can explain in depth why they are what they are if anyone cares. And if not? I can continue to be right without you, it just won't be easy but I'll manage.
Thanks for reading my share. (HA! HA. ha. huh??) ;)
Best,
Thom
