No one fights addiction alone—you’ve taken the first step by being here. Unity for Recovery’s “We Are One” fellowship guides you through AA’s proven 12‑Step program, peer support, and daily rituals to build lasting sobriety.
Welcome! You’ve taken the bravest step by seeking help. Here at Unity for Recovery, “We Are One” means no one fights addiction alone. Through Alcoholics Anonymous’s proven 12‑step program, peer fellowship, and daily rituals, you can move from struggle to sustained sobriety.
1. Your First Steps: From Desperation to Connection
If you feel trapped by cravings and shame, start here:
- Find a meeting: See our Meetings & Sponsorship Guide for in‑person and online options.
- Show up and listen: Arrive early, sit quietly, and absorb others’ stories—you’re not alone.
- Introduce yourself: When invited, say “I’m an alcoholic.” You’ll hear “Welcome,” not judgment.
- Ask for a sponsor: Choose someone with 1+ year sober: “Will you guide me through the Steps?”
- Daily surrender ritual: Morning & evening whisper: “Higher Power, I surrender today’s struggle. Grant me strength.”
