The First of the Twelve Steps

There are Twelve Steps accepted in the world to recover from addictions.
In truth, these are for every human being to change his life from evil and dark to good and light.
The first step is "We admitted we were powerless over evil and darkness. That our lives had become unmanageable".
It's a fact that this step must be done out of personal recognition and cannot be coerced or influenced by others.
Every person is controlled by evil and is powerless without help from HaShem. HaShem only helps when a person is committed and dedicated to receive HaShems help. Someone who personally wants to remain in the darkness, and only feigns sincerity from outside pressure, is still being controlled by evil and will not merit HaShems help.
