Taking Step 1 Is A Powerful Action

 Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over (name the addiction) and that our lives had become unmanageable.

The admission and acceptance of our addiction is a must if we are to recover. Whether the addiction is to alcohol, or other drug (including nicotine) or to food (which can be used and abused just like a drug) or to a behavior like gambling, debting, under earning, or co-dependence, we must, somehow, come to terms with the fact that we are addicted.
