Part One: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol... (please slip in here anything you may find yourself addicted to so that it will feel perfect for you).
Let us look at some questions and my hope is that you will interact with me and send me answers and participate from the beginning.
1. How much of your addiction of choice did you use at a time?
2. How often?
3. What chemical was your second choice?
4. How much of it did you use at a time?
5. How often?
6. What was your third choice?
7. How much of it did you use at a time?
8. How often?
9. What other drugs and/or other substances are you currently addicted to?
What is Chemical Dependencey?
Chemical dependency is a disease. As chemically dependent people, we lose control over our drug use. Very often, bad things happen to us because of using alcohol or other drugs, but we still can't control our use. We keep using chemicals and keep having problems because of our use, until we get help to begin a recovery program.
What causes Chemical Dependency? We don't know. But we know our chances of becoming chemically depenent are greater if we have a chemically dependent parent or other close relative with the same problem. We believe at least 10% of adult Americans are chemically addicted and/or dependent.
We know chemical dependency is not caused by moral weakness or lack of willbpower.
Next, we will go over some common statements used by peope who may be close to discovering they are in Step One and having a hard time believing it.
To believe -- trust -- and this trust will begin to set you free.
Free is an awesome place to be.
