Was a sense of safety and camaraderie

Coming into First Step, I was there for legal purposes. I had no intentions of changing my behaviors after completing treatment. However, with the help of my counselor, Kai and other group members, I realized that some change would greatly improve my life. No one expected me to be perfect, and I was able and comfortable enough to share multiple lapses with the group. There was a sense of safety and camaraderie between members and everyone was very helpful.
