2011
 
I just got a whole new perspective toward "The Steps".

Why?
Well----for the longest time I was saying " no way " until just this very moment.

I read a post from I believe 2011. It was from a man who said he could not get past the first step.

How could he be powerless?
He then said that he worked the steps backwards, by the time he reached step one he was able to understand what that actually meant.

Not sure if he is still sober now, but his voice is still helping others (me)

Being powerless just means you just need help.

I am not sure what I will do, if I will try the steps or not. But this post he had written sure raised some questions ( positive) in my mind.

For me definitely gaining new perspectives has been very helpful in my Sobriety!! :)
