Recovery and the Steps are a life long marathon not a sprint. Start by hitting a minimum of 90 meetings in 90 days.

To work step one, I had to get real honest about my addiction to drugs, including alcohol, and how it was affecting my life.
I had to look at how often I was using, what I was using, when, where, with whom, and of course the consequences of using.
I had to ask myself whether I thought it was really possible for me to "control" my using, i.e. use only occasionally in a way that was not destructive,
or whether using for me would always lead back to using all the time, compulsively, obssessively, destructively.

Step 1 is the MOST important step. Until we surrender completely, a chance of relapse is ever present. We give up all hope for a better yesterday.

The first step can be very gloomy. But the steps don't work by individually by themselves. There IS hope, that's what we promise.
