Step 1 of AA and NA - correct answer ✔✔ Honesty
Addiction causes a level of denial that can be quite challenging for onlookers to believe. No
matter how much people push someone into recovery, unless they accept that there's a
problem, overcoming it is almost impossible.
The 12 steps begin with an admission that you are powerless over drugs or alcohol. Once you
admit that it's in control of you and not the other way around, you can get started.
Step 2 of AA and NA - correct answer ✔✔ Faith.
you need to accept that there is a higher power in the universe than yourself. If you want God,
or any higher power, to act on your behalf, it's imperative that you believe it can. Accepting a
higher power helps you to see life from a different perspective and creates a sense of
accountability.
Step 3 of AA and NA - correct answer ✔✔ Surrender
Now that you have accepted a higher power into your life, welcome them by surrendering fully
to a higher purpose. When people feel like their lives lack purpose and meaning, free will can
run wild and lead you down dark pathways.
Surrendering to a higher purpose in AA/NA helps you focus on the true meaning within your life
so you can feel like a valuable member of society again.
