Introduction to the 12 Steps
Step 1: Admitting Powerlessness
The first step involves admitting that one is powerless over their addiction, acknowledging that life has become unmanageable. It's a vital step that requires honesty and acceptance.
Step 2: Belief in a Higher Power
This step encourages individuals to believe in a power greater than themselves that can help restore sanity. It doesn't require religious faith but rather an openness to spiritual growth.
Step 3: Turning Decisions Over
In the third step, individuals make a decision to turn their will and lives over to the care of the higher power they identified in Step 2. It's about letting go of control and embracing trust.
