While at Back 2 Basics, an alcohol addiction treatment in Flagstaff, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of issues that have contributed to my alcoholism. My first step was acknowledging that I was an alcoholic and that my life was unmanageable. This was a difficult step because I always like being in control. Admitting that I was not in control, meant that I was lesser of a person. All my life I have felt that by being in control and being able to fix everything on my own made me feel like I was a bigger and better person. Asking for help made me feel weak and powerless. That was not something I liked understanding and writing my past helped me to see the whole picture. All of the shit things that I put myself and my family through was out of control. To say it was unmanageable is an understatement. It took awhile to find alcohol addiction treatment center, but my parents did.
My 2nd step was to come to believe that a power greater than myself could help restore me to sanity. Once again this required me to ask for help. Another leap for me was the coming to believe a power greater than myself. I have always been agnostic in my beliefs. Believing that something that I couldn’t see, touch, or feel was going to return me to sanity seemed like a joke to me. I always believed that I can do things on my own without a higher power. It is comfortable knowing that I am not alone. Getting to be comfortable with God as I understood him made it easier for me. Turning my will over to him is still a constant struggle and I need to keep reminding myself of it every day.
My powerless over situations was something I was never able to admit. Allowing myself to accept life on his terms, and deal with it accordingly has been a difficult transition. Accepting where I am in life and having a positive attitude no matter the situation, helps me to be more mindful. Being able to make the correct decisions about my life and thinking about the next right decision to take, has allowed me to develop more peace and the ability to be present.
