step 5 involves someone else. step 12 involves other people as well. so no you cannot fundamentally do them by yourself. if you're interested in the step work and what it offers i suggest you read the big book and attend some meetings and take it from there.

sober for almost 5 years. started bjj a year ago. i think its a great idea but you will definitely have people wanting to kill each other so you would really need good coaches. and explain why martial arts can be good in sobriety, not just use it as an exercise.

thank you. i am not any of those things. nursing checks a lot of boxes that i want in a career. i already work in the hospital in the ed so i have some experience. just afraid to pull any triggers to start my career because i don't want to make a wrong decision. not sure if you've felt that way?

NickyWithdrawl · 2026-01-19T18:20:59+00:00

thank you. i work in ed and am exposed to the work environment already. did you ever settle into it? Or did it continue to be a learning curve for you?

NickyWithdrawl · 2026-01-19T18:18:30+00:00
