Having identified myself as an alcoholic, which was acknowledging the powerless state that I was in and the fact that my life had reached a total state of unmanageability, I was now faced with a task of finding POWER.

This the only step as far as I know in the AA book which asks me to be "convinced". Convinced of what? Convinced that we were in the right place- "we were at Step 3". If I am not convinced, then I need to go back to Step1 and Step2 and see what it is that I am not convinced about. If I am not c...
