The AA program has set up a process called "12 Steps" to get individuals on the road to recovery. The Twelve Steps are guiding principles that outline a course of action for tackling problems individuals face. Step one is to admit that you have a problem and that you are powerless over it. Step two is to acknowledge and believe that there is a greater power able to heal and restore you.

In Mark 5, we find a woman with an problem going through the first two steps of AA in pursuit of her deliverance.
