If you want the program to work for you, you need to immediately begin to work the program. One of the earliest descriptions of the program says: "You admit you are defeated; you get honest with yourself; you talk it out with somebody else; you make restitution to the people you have harmed; you try to give of yourself without stint, with no demand for reward; and you pray to whatever God you think there is, even as an experiment." You pray for the "power to practice these precepts." These concepts, "broken up into smaller pieces," now make up our Twelve Steps.
