“I was brought to First Step, due to my own personal drinking addiction which has caused me to make many irresponsible decisions and led me into myself being incarcerated. When I first came to group at First Step I was dreaduful to the fact of attending. I never thought that I had a personal addiction but the more I participated in group discussions and other activities I learned to appreciate the program. First Step helped me to identify key factors in my life which needed improvement. Since entering the program I have found that I myself can accomplish goals I’ve never set for myself. I’m currently am working 2 jobs, in which I was able to become a manager in training at one. Learning to cope with my anger and other negative thoughts has helped me get on the right path for my future. I am very appreciative and will continue to stay focused and motivated by staying away from negative peers and places which led me to my drinking addictions.”
