  • 3rd side (hint)
Level 1 ACCEPTANCE

This level is the acceptance of having a physical disorder, one that requires the cessation of substance abuse.
Statement #1: I have a life-threatening problem that once had me.
I now take charge of my life and my disease. I accept the responsibility.

"We have taken charge by recognizing our illness, by recognizing that something is wrong and we need help. We are now saying that we will no longer be manipulated by our addictions. We can now choose to have control."
Level 2 REMOVING NEGATIVITY

This level helps us discard negative thoughts, puts guilt behind, and practice new ways of viewing and solving problems
Statement #2: Negative thoughts destroy only myself.
My first conscious act must be to remove negativity from my life.

"Our negative thoughts about ourselves are devastating and keep us from realizing ourselves. This is also true of the negative thoughts we hold for things and persons other than ourselves. Each thought of anger, envy, hate, rage, jealousy -- any of these and a hundred others destroy only ourselves -- no one else."

Statement #4: Problems bother me only to the degree I permit them to.
I now better understand my problems and do not permit problems to overwhelm me.

"When dealing with problems, we must work hard at knowing the basic lesson of this Program: that our mind controls our emotions and that our mind is filled with whatever we put into it."
Statement #9: The past is gone forever.
No longer will I be victimized by the past, I am a new person.

"To loosen one's grip on the past is not always easy to do. Even though our past may be sad or tragic or painful, we hang on to it, for it is part of our history and we are unable to free ourselves to move into uncharted waters. The present and the future -- they are the promise. The past is the fact. Because it is already fact, the past cannot be changed. It is set in cement. Letting go of our past happens when we occupy ourselves with our present and with plans for the future."
Level 3 NEW THINKING

This level teaches us how to create and to practice a new self-image.
Statement 5: I am what I think.
I am a capable, competent, caring, compassionate woman.

"Every thought is a planted seed that will soon bear fruit. This is the history of our thoughts. They precede our actions; they create our life. And this is the history of our actions. Mastery of this Statement amounts to mastery of life. It is the keystone to recovery."
Statement 12: I am a competent woman and have much to give life.
This is what I am and I shall know it always.

"We are the character we give ourselves and this character we are, must be self-confident, must have belief in self and capabilities. Grab onto life. Accept challenge. Go for it. Never doubt your ability to do it -- whatever you choose to do."
Level 4 NEW ATTITUDES

This level teaches us new attitudes to enforce new behavior patterns.
Statement #3: Happiness is a habit I will develop.
Happiness is created, not waited for.

"This Statement means making ourselves aware of life and the little moments of pleasure; it also means making those moments -- take time to observe a sunrise or sunset."

Statement #6: Life can be ordinary or it can be great.
Greatness is mine by a conscious effort.

"Life can be as we make it, quite ordinary or a great adventure. The quality of our life is up to us. We are in control of (or should be) our feelings, our moods, our attitudes, our thoughts."
Statement #11: Enthusiasm is my daily exercise.
I treasure all moments of my new life.

"To be enthusiastic is to live life to the fullest. It puts zip into life. It makes us feel alive and vibrant. It lights up the inner part of our being -- we glow, and others respond to this."
Level 5 RELATIONSHIPS

In this level we learn how to improve relationships as a result of our new feelings about ourselves.
Statement #7: Love can change the course of my world.
Caring becomes all important.

"Learning to give, and accept, love can - and will - change our world. Our recovery depends very heavily upon our establishing good relationships with others, with our feeling and expressing love and, most importantly, our loving ourselves so we can love others."
Statement #10: All love given returns.
I will learn to know that others love me.

"Our recovery is based upon our feeling good about ourselves and our being at peace within ourselves. This happens when we release ill feeling. Only then can our recovery be assured."
Level 6 A NEW SELF

Level 6 is recognizing life's priorities: emotional and spiritual growth, self-responsibility.
Statement #8: The fundamental object of life is emotional and spiritual growth.
Daily I put my life into a proper order, knowing which are the priorities.

"Growth, or change, is the key to recovery. It really means an exploration of ourselves. It is a learning process of who we are and what we need to change. The object of our living is to find the best of ourselves and, when we do that, we experience emotional growth. Spiritual growth means our acknowledgment that we are part of a larger whole. Our spirit is that part of us that is not physical. It is the indescribable something else within us. Spirit is the core within. It is the stem of our clock."
Statement #13: I am responsible for myself and for my actions.
I am in charge of my mind, my thoughts, and my life.

"The entire object of this New Life Program is to come to this point: to the maturity of accepting ourselves and being responsible for ourselves and all that we do. We are a force of one, strong in the belief in ourselves and what happens to us."
