i can wax poetically about this question at length and on many levels, however this morning i think i will stick to the point, am i ready for what???
i am ready to recover. i know at this moment i am an addict and my life can be and is often unmanageable, by me anyhow. does this mean that i am without HOPE, not at all! i have learned over the course of time that although i am powerless over just about everything that i do have a POWER that can take care of my unmanageable LIFE and that things always seem to work out for the best in the long run, all i have to do is accept things the way they are, get out of the way, and let the GOD do the work that only GOD is capable of, namely managing my life. this is the essence of the first step (at least in my opinion). so i guess, what i am trying to say is YES i am ready to surrender to the fact that i am powerless over the disease of addiction and ready to procedd on a journey through the steps!
