I've finally decided to get out of my own head & return to meetings. When depressed, I isolate; I'd only been going to one meeting a week for the past month. I went to my regular noon meeting today & explained my absence. Step One reads, "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol -- That our lives had become unmanageable." For me, the "We" is possibly the most important part of Step One, because if I don't hit regular meetings, share & listen, the other two parts of Step One are in jeopardy. I can't afford to forget I'm powerless to drink normally & that my life becomes unmanageable the minute I pick up that first drink. They say Step One is the only step you have to work 100% each day...& the "We" of the program is a big part of that.
