“I first came to First Step after struggling to maintain long periods of sobriety. I was seeking additional counseling and support in addition to AA to develop/ improve practical skills related to healthy living. I really appreciate all that I’ve learned through this program. The structure of having a designated topic each session with a skilled moderator, and worksheets/ activities, was very helpful to my recovery. The open discussion format was beneficial since “cross talk” from people who share my experience was often very productive. I particularly got a lot from the sessions on thought patterns, self- care, and communication.”
