This is my interpretation of the twelve steps focusing on step 1 and step 2
The 12 Steps for Narcotics Anonymous are used to help a person find their way back into a steady, manageable life. Each step involves looking a problem in the eye, and working your way past it, by realizing that a higher power can help us find righteousness. The biggest part of these steps, of course, is step one.
"We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable." This seems straightforward, but what does it mean, exactly? This first step allows our minds to paint a picture. We can imagine someone who's life is slipping away like grains of sand through their hands. Friends, family, a job, all lost because of addiction. Someone who is as close to the bottom as possible. For some, they never even get the chance to work with step one. Some don't realize that there is a way back, and merely become another statistic. But for those who are able to acknowledge their problem, and are able to realize that they need help, the first step is already completed. All it takes is a look in a metaphorical mirror, and seeing what has happened, and what could be, with the right help.
Now powerlessness is not the easiest thing to come to grips with. It's very common for the human mind to try and pretend to have control, when in truth, we have very little control on anything in the physical world. It's so easy to tell yourself that you don't have a problem, but it becomes apparent to everyone else as it gets worse. But to admit that weakness, that powerlessness, well, I believe that shows that you are ready to become a wholesome person again.
Step one and step two are very closely related, and both really set the ideas for the other ten steps. Step two states: "We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." This is why it is important to understand that we can not control our weaknesses, and that we need help managing our lives. Because at that point, you allow yourself to be open God. You allow yourself to realize that accepting the problem will allow you to get better, and that denying it can only make it worse. You allow yourself to realize that getting help isn't a bad thing.
Addiction is a serious problem, and it is serious enough to completely devastate our lives, to a point where redemption seems like a flickering street light at the end of a long, lonesome street. But if you are willing to take those first steps, I can tell you that the light will grow stronger the closer you get to it.
