Realize that we detest mercy being given to those who, unlike us, haven't worked for it and don't deserve it -- Step 4. Have decided that we don't want to get what we deserve after all, and we don't want anyone else to either -- Step 5. Will cease all attempts to apply teaching and rebuke to anyone but ourselves -- Step 6. Are ready to have God remove all these defects of attitude and character -- Step 7. Embrace the belief that we are, and will always be, experts at sinning -- Step 8. Are looking closely at the lives of famous men and women of the Bible who turned out to be ordinary sinners like us -- Step 9. Are seeking through prayer and meditation to make a conscious effort to consider others better than ourselves -- Step 10. Embrace the state of astonishment as a permanent and glorious reality -- Step 11. Choose to rid ourselves of any attitude that is not bathed in gratitude -- Step 12.
