Which of the following statements is part of Step 2?

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to God.

The statement about making a decision to turn our will and our lives over to God is indeed a key component of Step 3 in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. However, the correct answer for Step 2 is actually the admission of powerlessness over alcohol.

Step 2 emphasizes recognizing that individuals are powerless over their addiction and that their lives had become unmanageable. This realization is crucial for anyone seeking help, as it lays the foundation for moving forward in recovery. Acceptance of this powerlessness is an essential first step to seek help and spiritual insight, leading to the hope that they can achieve a sense of control and healing in their lives.

The other options are parts of different steps within the Twelve Steps framework, which each address various aspects of recovery, but they do not represent Step 2 specifically. Understanding the distinction of each step helps in grasping the overall recovery process and its sequential nature.

Admitted we were powerless over alcohol.

Were entirely ready to have God remove defects of character.

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
