Step 1
I worked Step 1 with 2 different sponsors. The basic part of it was that I am powerless over drugs/myaddiction. The first time I worked it my sponsor said to keep in mind that I was also powerless over people/places/things. I was talking to a friend the other day in the program who said step 1, to him, means that he is powerless over himself. PErsonally, I can get with the whole being powerless over drugs/my addiction. ( I wouldn't be in NA if I wasn't) The part about being powerless over other things is quite different. In terms of being pwoerless over yourself, I don't even know what that means. I'd like to get other people's thoughts on this.
