The problem we face is not the substance or behaviour. The substance or behaviour is our SOLUTION to the problem.

The real problem is in our thinking and perspectives, in the trauma we have endured and the pain we are experiencing. It's in the stories we tell ourselves, and our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world.

We use the substance to mask the pain, fulfill a need, self-medicate, and so many other, highly individual, reasons. The substance provides the relief or escape we so desperately need.

If we simply try to put the drug or drink down, and make no other changes, there is little chance for long-term sobriety and recovery.

Step One.

The first step is about surrender. It's a willingness to look at life honestly, and admit that we, alone, do not have sufficient resources to solve our alcohol, drug, or behavioural problem. We are waving the white flag and reaching out for help.

Our emotions, thoughts, behaviours, relationships, and so many other areas have become unmanageable. You may say, "I still have the job, the house, the family, etc.", but in reality it's all teetering on the edge. Whatever the substance or behaviour, it is causing havoc in our lives.

We are done. We are fully conceding to the fact that this does not and will not work for us. We need to find another way.

The 12 Steps get a bad rap these days, and sometimes that’s for good reason. Seen as a cult, or a methodology that is based in the past, or a religious program, or un-compassionate, there are experiences people have that are less than ideal. And so, when individuals have these experiences, they leave the rooms, never to see what the real 12 Step program is all about.

The goal over the next few weeks is to explain the fundamental ideas behind each step, the misconceptions and myths, the difference between the steps themselves and the meetings attended, and most importantly, the language and religious barriers people face.

We want to clarify and simplify this process, so that maybe you will give it a try. Who knows, it might just change your life.

We can't change what we don't know, and there is so much we don't know.

Recovery is a journey of discovery, of learning who we are, why we do what we do, what is happening inside of us, and so much more.

When we become aware, we actually have a chance.

We come full-circle in addiction, beginning with the numbing or avoidance of some form of pain, and ending with the pain of destruction and chaos that using will inevitably bring. Horrible, but true.

Recovery is how we convert that pain into growth and triumph.

If you don't believe it, there is little good work that can be done. If you can instill that hope, even if it's just a little, it opens the door to possibility.
