This self-assessment explores the three fundamental stages of recovery encapsulated in the AA saying "I came, I came to, I came to believe." These stages represent the progressive journey from initial participation through awakening awareness to developing faith in recovery. Each stage builds upon the previous one, creating a foundation for sustained recovery and personal transformation.

The progression from "coming" to "coming to" to "coming to believe" reflects the natural evolution of recovery consciousness. What begins as simple physical presence often driven by external pressure gradually transforms into genuine awareness of one's condition and ultimately develops into faith in the possibility of recovery and the power of community support.

This assessment helps you understand where you currently stand in this journey, identify areas for growth, and develop strategies for progressing through each stage more fully. There are no right or wrong answers—the goal is honest self-reflection and identification of opportunities for deeper recovery engagement.
