Admitted We Are Powerless Over Alcohol: Al-Anon Step One and the Recover Your Soul Process

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

The most downloaded Recover Your Soul episodes continue to be the ones connected to Al-Anon — and today I'm going back to the roots.

I'm reading directly from How Al-Anon Works for Family and Friends of Alcoholics — specifically Al-Anon's First Step — and reflecting on how this profound, foundational step lives inside the Recover Your Soul process.

Step One: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — and that our lives had become unmanageable.

In this episode we explore the First Step of Al-Anon alongside the Recover Your Soul Nine Step Process, including the 3 C's of Al-Anon — you didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it — and why these truths are the gateway to real healing.

Admitting powerlessness is not defeat. It is the beginning of your freedom.

Take what resonates. Leave what doesn't. You are not alone — your soul remembers the way.
