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. As long as I deny powerlessness and unmanageability there is no need for Step2 and so I...

"Admitted we were powerless over alcohol..." First of all without reading the 1st 60 pages of the AA book I did not understand what powerless meant. I had to break this step into chewable pieces. Looks like an easy step but it is not. Power of choice is a natural instinct, otherwise I would di...

I get it, I am an alcoholic and my life is unmanageable especially in the area of alcohol. Step two should be easy for me, but believe it or not, I am stumbli...

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...

I have been what they call a dry drunk for the past 7 years and just recently I felt like my world was falling apart. I started having anxiety an...
