The 12 Suggested Steps of War Anonymous


We admit we are powerless over war -- that our lives and well-being have become unmanageable by the resource-sucking war machine..


We now come to believe that there is no power greater than ourselves that can restore sanity to the warmakers.


We make a decision to turn our commitment and our actions over to the elimination of war as national foreign policy and as a means of conflict resolution.


We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and why we are so attached to the excitement of war.


We admit to humanity and to each other the exact nature of warmaking.


We are entirely ready to remove all these defects of human character in us.


We humbly ask the victims of our war making to forgive our shortcomings.


We make a list of all persons our warring has harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.


We urge our country to make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.


We continue to take personal inventory of our warmaking tendencies and when we are so inclined to promptly admit it.


We seek to enhance peace through personal contact with humanity seeking the knowledge and personal empowerment needed in creating a more peaceful world.


Having had a consciousness awakening as a result of these steps, we try to carry this message to warmakers and to practice these principles in all our domestic and international affairs.

4. It has worked on entire countries in other areas of addiction.

America is an highly addicted society with corporations fueling those addictions. The challenge and opportunity now is to replace those addictions with healthy, less socially, physically and environmentally destructive ways of living.

These addictions will kill us in every form of our lives if we do not address them.
