Step One – “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable”
I remember taking my first Step One after I got out of a 30 day rehab; I was bound and determined to stay sober. I failed egregiously less than 18 months later. This time, I am 904 days free from alcohol and Xanax. I have yet to complete my Step work with my Sponsor, but we will do so. I now have the clarity that being free from BOTH alcohol and Xanax has given me. Are my days trouble free – not all of them, no. But now, thankfully, I have the support I was unwilling to ask for in my past. I am far from perfect; I am more than willing to admit that fact! I am human, a Mama, a friend, a family member, an athlete, a productive member of society, and SOBER!
