Alcohol recovery…now that’s something you never want to need. Especially when you’re sure you don’t have a problem. Granted, if you do have a problem the best thing to do is get help for it. But who wants to admit that they have a problem? Even though admitting to having a problem is the first step toward alcohol recovery, it unfortunately is the hardest step to take in that process. Maybe that’s why so many people never make it to the other side of that hill. It’s like someone’s offering you the golden ticket and their saying, “here you go. Here’s the golden ticket. It’s yours and all you have to do to get it is admit that you are a total screw up.” Gee, well, since you make it seem so easy… Can anything be more arduous than that? Admitting that you’ve dropped the ball is all that has to happen in order for you to make your way down the road to recovery. That’s just so wrong on so many levels. But no matter how wrong it is it’s definitely a step in the right direction. I guess that’s why it is the first step toward recovery. Because you can’t expect to help yourself if you’re trying to fool yourself into thinking nothing is wrong. Be true to yourself and the truth will set you free.
