"At first I believed that I already knew everything about recovery. However, if I knew everything I would not be in my current situation. The most helpful group to me was when Ms. Phyllis came in and told her story. Her story was very important because it put into perspective what I could have caused.

My first impression of first step was everyone was very friendly. Counselors make you feel like you've known them and talked to them for a long time which is a very comforting thing when you first come to group and you don't know anyone,. Things I found helpful was that everyone has to express how
