AA Step 1 – My Step Work

Step 1: 5 things that made my life unmanageable in my addiction.

1. Using/drinking/altering my natural state of mind messes with/dupes my reality/I lose my sanity, my serenity, my brain.
2. I didn’t/couldn’t do right for my daughters being “hidden” from me
3. I was/am toxic for M and everyone in my life.
4. Thinking I was a “functioning addict/alcoholic”
5. Having no HP or at least a real honest connection/relationship with Him.

5 things I’m powerless over:

1. Other people – their actions, behaviors, feelings, anything/everything outside myself.
2. My addiction/using/etc – if I use I’m choosing misery and possible death by my own stupidity.
3. Triggers – they’re everywhere in life.
4. Environments/energies in a room.
5. Being in control of my life – “Thy will, not mine, be done”
