again, just MY interpretation of how the steps work for me.....my step one was about "how i got here" - now i have to tell you i had to do TWO step ones......i did my first one and went over it with my sponsor and he (we were not same gender) told me, that's a good story.....now how about you write about the part YOU played in all of that??? see my first First step was a story of what THEY did to ME.....but i forgot the bit about how I reacted, the choices and decisions i made in REACTION.
