『ドーパミン中毒』（A. Lembke）を読んでいたら、
「真実を語ることには苦痛が伴う」のは、
「私たちは人生の最初から嘘をつくようにデザイン
　されている」から、「みな嘘をついて」おり、これが
依存症からの回復を妨げているばかりでなく、
人生をより良く生きることの妨げとなっていると
指摘されている。

そこで、再掲（2021/06/21）となるけれども、AAの
12ステップを以下に掲げる。

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

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than
ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory
of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another
human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all
these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and
became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever
possible, except when to do so would injure
them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and
when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

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

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