Three Things You Must do to Get and Stay Sober from any Addiction or Life Controlling Issue
In my drinking days I was pretty secretive about my addiction so I didn't have people confronting me about my problem. However, continual blackouts and what I would classify as near death experiences finally led me to the point of admitting to myself that I had a problem with alcohol and that my life 'had become unmanageable' as it says in Step One of Alcoholics Anonymous: "Admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable." Admitting you have a problem is one of the things you must to to get and stay sober from any addiction or life controlling issue? In this episode we will talk about why this is so challenging, and dive into all three of the things you must do to get and stay sober.
