"Keeping Step One at the forefront of my mind is the most important experience I have in Alcoholics Anonymous."
Ever wondered what it takes to maintain sobriety long-term? Bill K. shares his personal journey and the importance of continually practising Step One in Alcoholics Anonymous. Initially, Bill thought admitting he was powerless over alcohol was a one-time deal. However, he quickly realised that keeping Step One at the forefront is crucial for ongoing recovery. This episode reveals how Bill's understanding of powerlessness keeps him grounded and engaged with the AA programme.
He candidly discusses the pitfalls of thinking he's in control and the discomfort that arises when he forgets his foundational step. Bill emphasises the necessity of revisiting the AA literature and attending meetings to keep an accurate diagnosis of his condition. By sharing his story, Bill hopes to inspire others to embrace Step One as a continuous process rather than a single event.
His message is clear: recognising powerlessness isn't a sign of weakness but a cornerstone of living a free and sober life. Are you ready to make Step One a daily practice in your own recovery journey?
