Step by Step
Saturday, March 16, 2024
Today, if I believe that alcohol plunged me to depths deeper than I have ever been, I can also believe that recovery can lift me to heights I have never known. The journey begins with the first four words of the Program: “Admitted (I am) powerless …” Although the Program is there for the taking, what I take from it will be only as good as I put into it, and the work of investing in my recovery starts when I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, when I can’t live with myself any longer because all that I have done and said won’t let me forget, and when I accept responsibility for what I have done to myself and others, when I understand that recovery means more than abstinence and when I admit there is no “easier, softer way” to get well. Today, I am ready to begin achieving a height I have never experienced, and the beginning is in the words, “Admitted (I am) powerless.” And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2024
