Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. As with my experience in the previous 4 steps - step 5 was not easy. It was simple enough.

When I first fell into the 12 step programs, flat on my face and lower than I have ever been, step 3 was PURELY my complete willingness to move forward with an open mind. I am here. I am powerless. I am insane...

If so, I'd really like to join. I'm still on Step 1 (I think). I guess I am confused how I know when I've made it to Step 2. I keep thinking I'm falling backwards. I know I need to find a sponsor but thought a group like this may be helpful, as well. Looking forward to any feedback! Thank you!
