The Program is a Scientific Way of Life
One of the principles of the Steps is ‘repeated rigorous and demanding investigation and experimentation’ with life. We rigorously examine our lives and actions in inventories and then try out actions to amend our attitudes and perceptions of life. We experiment and then with sponsors and inventories we track the results of our experiments. Even when we make amends we are, in part, looking for information about the reality of our lives and attitudes by studying the reflection of our actions, this sounds like a scientific process.
