Powerlessness
Who cares to admit complete defeat? Practically no one, of
course. Every natural instinct cries out against the idea of
personal powerlessness. It is truly awful to admit that, glass in
hand, we have warped our minds into such an obsession for
destructive drinking that only an act of Providence can remove it from us.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step One) p. 21
Thought to Ponder . . .
When I share my story and remember the last days of my drinking,
I remember the desperation of selling the last pieces of my soul.
