Actually theres 12 steps but there not all simple, the simple plan of action was asked of me from my higher power, spoken to me loudly after having a few years clean but pretty much just dry.

Having not have worked the program once again and having just relapsed after 5 years clean and not working the program, I was at another point of obsession with using, I knew what was next, another relapse, I reeeeeally didn't want another relapse, I saw the circle jerk i was in, over and over again, same results same pattern, jumping off points, unable to stay clean unable to continue using, everything fell together I saw the hopeless dilemma of my life and at that moment I sought out God and he came to me in a loud resounding voice, yes he spoke to me.

"HEY STUPID" he said, I looked up to the heavens and said, " Yes sir how can I help you", God spoke to me again asking " DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO 5 SIMPLE THINGS I ASK  IN ORDER TO STAY CLEAN? ",  my reply was yes, of course.

GOD SPOKE AGAIN TO ME "OK SO HERES THE PLAN, #1 GET A SPONSOR #2 WORK THE STEPS, #3 GO TO MEETINGS DAILY, #4 GET INTO SERVICE, #5 TRUST ME THIS WILL WORK, TRUST THE PROCESS AND HAVE FAITH .....

 And do i did, only because i was hopeless and wanted badly to stay clean, since then i have had many things occur that i would have normally relapsed over, my relationship with God is better, my life is much better , my recovery continues daily and I grow a little each day, life is bearable, people places things aren't so difficult, I am maturing still at 52 years old, i'm BETTER now  i'm not well and never will be but i'm better...
