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”

I’m sorry Daddy I’m awesome
