TRUE OR FALSE?
HEROIN WAS ONCE LEGAL.
TRUE!
While rightly vilified today, heroin was once not only legal but marketed as non-addictive. Launched by Bayer in 1898 as a cough suppressant and a safe substitute for morphine, this was perhaps not the cynical move we sometimes suspect pharmaceutical giants pull.

All was well until people started becoming addicted. In short order, public opinion turned against the substance, and it was banned worldwide.

In this step, each one of us will have to come to some conclusions about what we think "God" means. Our understanding doesn't have to be complex or complete. It doesn't have to be like anyone else's. We may discover that we're very sure what God isn't for us, but not what God is, and that's okay. The only thing that is essential is that we begin a search that will allow us to further our understanding as our recovery continues. Our concept of God will grow as we grow in our recovery.
