In my search for graphics, I just happened upon this site. It looks like a site full of information not only for those addicted to alcohol but also for those of us who care about an alcoholic. And it is a site anyone with any internet browser can visit.

THE TWELVE STEPS
taken from the book
One Day at a Time in Alanon

Study of these Steps is essential to progress in the Alanon program. The principles they embody are universal, applicable to everyone, whatever his or her personal creed. In Alanon, we strive for an ever-deeper understanding of these Steps, and pray for the wisdom to apply them to our lives.

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

Step 11
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praing only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

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