Exactly! The first step, admitting you are powerless over drugs (or alcohol..pornograpy..food, too much tv,excessive wax in your ear or whatever else stepcraft is propogating these days)
Is the first step to lifelong failure and malaise.
It is when you EMPOWER yourself to control your urges and seek success in your life that your transcend this dangerous addiction myth of the necessity and importance of the Stepcraft cult in our society.
Congratulations RPT2003...you did it the right way, no groveling at the alter of the false god of stepcraft neccessary.
It is AA that spawned synanon and all these Seed/straight/Elan/CEDU cults BTW. Always remember that.
