1. Did you have any adverse childhood experiences?
2. What did the moment you first got hooked/the fun times look like?
3. What were your worst consequences and finally your rock bottom?
4. Did you ever want to die/consider suicide?
5. What other methods did you try to get sober before finding the rooms of a 12-step fellowship?
6. Did you struggle with the word God?
7. How do you experience your Higher Power/your God moments?
8. Which parts of the steps were the most difficult for you?
9. Which character defects give you most trouble?
10. What is the best thing recovery has given you?
11. What would you say to a newcomer or someone wondering if they’re an addict?
