Step One We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable. For me I half-heartedly understood this when first entering recovery. I understood it at a textbook level. Not until I had hit my bottom did I grasp onto this step with all my heart, body, and soul. I had just...

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!
