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

Came to believe that Laughter could restore us to sanity.

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Laughter as we understood It.

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our old frowns.

Admitted to Laughter, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our frowns...

Were entirely ready to have Laughter remove all of our sorrow.

Humbly asked It to remove our frowns.

Made a list of all persons we had frowned at, and became willing to make them happy.

Made direct smiles to such people wherever possible, except when they were in the process of drinking water or coffee.

Continued to appreciate humor and to smile a lot and when we were caught not smiling, promptly became willing to smile and laugh again.

Sought through Music, Love and Laughter, to improve our conscious contact with ourselves, as best we could, striving only for happiness and the power to carry that out.

Having had an awakening as the result of these steps, we strive to carry this message to others and to bring humor and smiles to all that we meet.
