I now focus more on the lessons learned

“When I first got the DWI it took a lot out of me to not allow myself to continue dwelling on the situation. Coming to First Step I thought at first would be boring and full of lectures but it was the opposite. Coming here I no longer feel alone and have realized just because the mistake I made was big it definitely isn’t something I won’t get through. Instead of only looking at the bad in the situation I now focus more on the lessons learned. The biggest thing coming to First Step has done for me personally is remind me emotions are natural even those that don’t feel good and instead of running from them I can choose to grow by dealing with them.”
