Why write on your steps?
A "first" of anything is a beginning, and so it is with the steps: The First Step is the beginning of the recovery process. The healing starts here; we can't go any further until we've worked this step. Some ... choose to work Step One in a more systematic fashion. Our reasons for formally working Step One will vary from member to member...
Whatever the case, it's time to do some step work: to engage in some concrete activity that will help us find more freedom... Our hope is to internalize the principles of Step One, to deepen our surrender, to make the principles a fundamental part of who we are. (Per one 12 step fellowships literature)
