Looking for advise on how to start writing my story.

The biggest hurdle that I had was starting. I found that once I started writing, it just all started to come out naturally. Start at the beginning, the feelings that you experienced when you first starting drinking/drugging. Speak from the heart and you can't go wrong.
Thank you Andrew. I appreciate you for your advice.
@yvonne262594 Are you talking about your AA story or life story?
Either way, start from the beginning. You will not get it all on the first try.
Just start writing don't stop until you're done.
Go back and proof read, at what you missed.
Remember you need to word it in a manner that the reader can draw the mental picture in their head as to what they are reading.
You don't want to turn it into step work. Yes share your experience, strength and hope to the reader.
With my book I had to proof read it 10x's before I sent it to the publisher and even at that we both had to proof read it again.
Everytime an event in my life/career gets declassified I go back to writing.
I have another 15 years until everything is declassified so I can put it to print.
Do you have a publisher? Do you have a publishing agent?
Let me know your thoughts.
