Here they are, from page 48 of AA's 12 & 12:

To avoid falling into confusion over the names these defects should be

called, let's take a universally recognized list of major human failings - the

Seven Deadly Sins of pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth.

I was always under the impression this 'sins' list was Christian or from

the Bible (and perhaps, like some other AA things, it is - I'm not that

familiar with the bible). Funny how in AA, Bill writes that they are

'universally recognized'.
