1. We acknowledge that we are unable to control our revenge desires, and that this is ruining our lives.

3. We turn over our will to the care of this Power, as we understand It.

4. We undertake a deep and honest moral assessment of our lives.

5. We admit to the God, to ourselves, and to others the wrongs we have committed.

6. We are ready for our ways to be corrected. 

7. We ask God to remove our weaknesses and failings.

8. We identify those we have wronged, and are willing to make reparations to them.

9. We make direct reparations to these people when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others.

10. We continue to assess our lives and, when we are in error, promptly acknowledge it.

11. We seek conscious contact with God, asking for God’s will and the strength to fulfill it. 

12. Having experienced a spiritual awakening, we seek to live our lives in accord with these principles and to bring this message to others addicted to revenge.

12 Principles of Unity

​​

1. The success of individual recovery depends on the solidarity of RA groups.

2. RA group leaders serve, they do not direct or dictate.

3. The only requirement for RA membership is a desire to stop seeking revenge.

4. RA groups govern themselves except in matters affecting other groups or RA as a whole.

5. The purpose of each RA group is to carry a message of hope and recovery to people suffering from revenge addiction.

6. RA groups many not use the RA name for any outside purpose or for any outside enterprise, facility, or activity.

7. Each RA group should support itself and decline contributions from individuals or organizations outside the group. 

8. RA groups should always be led by peers, not professionals, but RA service organizations may use specialized contractors and employees to fulfill their mission. 

9. RA may create service organizations and committees to serve the RA groups. 

10. RA has no comment or opinion on outside issues, and the RA name should not become part of public controversies or disputes. 

11. RA groups attract members through awareness and compassion and should maintain personal anonymity in interactions with the media.

12. Anonymity is essential to RA's success and purpose and our foundation of placing principles before personalities.
