- First, you need to admit you’re hooked on Power, and you need to stop making excuses.
- Second, you’ve got to realise you can’t tackle this alone.
- Thirdly, ask for support from people like us.
- Then, be brutally honest with yourself and own up to your flaws.
- Share your faults with others, even if that feels tough.
- Next, dig deeper and uncover more faults.
- Seek assistance from others to pinpoint these faults.
- Acknowledge the people you’ve hurt due to your addiction.
- Take steps to make amends and compensate them.
- Keep uncovering more faults (there’s always more).
- And don’t hesitate to seek ongoing support.
- Lastly, pay it forward by aiding other addicts.
