they say your bottom is whenever you decide to stop digging. Its a very simple plan, I know it works, I've seen it working for my father for 30 years and it is now working for me. Go to a meeting, introduce yourself, and ask for a sponsor. Then you and your sponsor will work the 12 steps. Atfirst u may just take a temporary sponsor. Keep going to meetings and search for a sponsor you like, you may find one who shares and you feel you can relate to his or her story. Picking a sponsor is like a job interview. I have certain criteria for mine. How many years do they have clean. How many other people are they sponsoring( this is a very important one, you don't want someone that is sponsoring 4, 5, 6, 10 people because they wont have time for you so make your limit of people that they sponsor 1 or 2). Always remember, if ya feel alone, your not. You have more in common with the people in the meetings then you would think. For me it didn't take just walking into a meeting. I admitted I was powerless and put myself in a rehab. If you want what I have take the 1st step and give up and let go. I will pray for you. Alone I can't but together we can.
