Step Work

powerless · powerless

I find that as I work the steps, I keep going back to the basics. I have to keep starting with step one. I think I have step one down and then realize that step one is an everyday struggle for me. How can I move on to other steps when I have trouble Letting Go and turning things over to my HP?...
