Long
before I was able to obtain sobriety in A.A., I knew without a doubt
that alcohol was killing me, yet even with this knowledge, I was unable
to stop drinking. So, when faced with Step One, I found it easy to admit
that I lacked the power to not drink. But was my life unmanageable?
Never! Five months after coming into A.A., I was drinking again and
wondered why.
Later
on, back in A.A. and smarting from my wounds, I learned that Step One
is the only Step that can be taken 100%. And that the only way to take
it 100% is to take 100% of the Step. That was many twenty-four hours ago
and I haven't had to take Step One again.
