Admitted
“The second word in the first step is admitted,” I said. “I tell people admitting without committing is just shitting yourself.” Silence. “C’mon, it rhymes!” Eye rolls.
“Okay,” I continued. “Saying you have a problem is technically admitting, but to show you accept your situation you have to commit to change. Examples?”
“You admit you’re an alcoholic and get all the booze out of your house,” a guy named Roger said shaking his head. “Oh, the top-shelf stuff my wife poured down the drain. I could cry.”
“You admit it’s time to commit. So you sell your
motorcycles, put a down payment on a house, propose, and go to rehab when you
find out your girlfriend is pregnant,” a young man said.
“You admit you need more exercise,” a thirty-something woman
said. “So you adopt a big dog that will shred your couch if he isn’t walked
three times a day.”
Today I will admit I need to change by committing to that
change.
