	Twelve-step program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Twelve Steps were essentially a rewriting of the 6 steps of the Oxford Group with whom Wilson had contact.
		The Twelve Steps were eventually matched with Twelve Traditions, a set of guidelines for running individual groups and a sort of constitution for the program (eg, AA) as a whole.
		The Steps can be recognized in the Oxford Group teachings Wilson received from Rowland Hazard and Ebby Thacher in late 1934 and early 1935, but neither the Oxford Group nor early A.A. in New York or Akron had any "steps" at all.
