JUST FOR TODAY! -- Step one -- Taproot

STEP ONE: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol -- that our lives had become unmanageable.

"We know that little good can come to any alcoholic who joins AA unless he has first accepted his devastating weakness and all its consequences.  Until he so humbles himself, his sobriety -- if any -- will be precarious ... The principle that we shall find no enduring strength until we first admit complete defeat is the main taproot from which our whole Society has sprung and flowered."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

Step One – admission – until we can see that we have A problem, we can’t begin to receive help.  We must humbly inventory ourselves to see what we are and how sick we have become and how unmanageable our lives truly are.  Then when we admit – we can seek healing - we can start with the first step of many to walk the road of recovery -- it only takes one small step to move forward.

And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. -- Mark 10: 13-14
