Made direct amends wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. I'd like to write something about the second half of this step -- the potential for a direct amends in and of itself to cause injury.

I used to believe that if Higher Powers were around, then Lower Powers were also around. In that sense, alcoholism makes a little bit of sense at least. I'm trying to remain sober. I feel good as far as feeling go. I found that anger and stress caused many of my relapses. When I looked forward to...

If we were really powerless over alcohol, we could have never escaped from our alcoholism. This proves that we do have power to change our lives. Also, maybe it was, actually, US who allowed ourselves to exhibit alcoholism. Alcoholism is nothing in reality, because alcoholism cannot be diagnos...
