By working the ten steps, we can move from being alone to finding a new normal after combat trauma. The new normal can bring richness to life beyond our experience before war, but it takes real commitment to get there.

1. We resolve to do whatever it takes to improve our lives. We fix it. We are relentless. We never quit. We expect to win. 
2. After war, we continue to help each other overcome obstacles and achieve goals.
3. We make our reactions appropriate to the situation at home, not the battlefield.
4. We identify and break through negative ruts. 
5. We take a little ground every day, working a plan appropriate for us.
6. We honor the past, but live for the future.        
7. We process stress in a healthy way. 
8. We identify our strengths, and we build on them. 
9. We achieve victory by partnering with a power greater than ourselves. Victory is feeling peace. 
10. We reach out to understand and become a source of strength for others because, together, we are not alone.
