Embracing Powerlessness: Billy and Jason on Step One of Recovery

One of the things that definitely comes up for the first step for me when I first got here into the recovery idea, it mentioned that you know unmanageability might be the only thing that we can recognize about our lives in some form of wording, and that's definitely what I could identify with when I got to the program and wanted to do something different was that there was no more obvious statement than my life was unmanageable.
What does it mean to admit powerlessness over addiction? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason tackle the first step in the 12-step recovery process: acknowledging that our lives have become unmanageable due to addiction.
