“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.” — Step One
Today, every journey has a starting point, and the road to recovery begins with Step One. Today, I have no doubt that I am powerless over alcohol and that it makes my life unmanageable. If I find even a small grain of reluctance to fully admit my powerlessness over alcohol, I wonder if I am willing to lose more than I already have to drinking or if I refuse to lose any more. If I answer that I could risk losing more, I have not given Step One the gut-level honesty it requires. If I answer I cannot or will not give up anything more to alcohol, I have taken a productive First Step. Today, I admit I am powerless over alcohol and, in surrendering, my life can begin to become manageable. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2024
