Unmanagable?

Background:
I've been in and out of the program for 6 years. Had a couple 18 month stretches of sobriety in there. Been in rehab (residential) twice, detox 3 times.

During my latest relapse (big time relapse, drinking every day for several months), I knew I was powerless over alcohol, but I didn't care.

I'm a self-described "high bottom." Never had any trouble with the law. I've had a steady, white collar job (career) this whole time. Always in good standing at work. My wife is still with me, etc.

My sponsor thinks I need to look at the unmanagability of step 1. I guess I'm not really seeing how my life has become unmanagable.

So, my question for all of you folks:
Anyone else out there have trouble seeing how their life had become unmanagable? I figured it would be more obvious, but I have to admit I'm having trouble seeing it.

Let me know how you came to believe your life had become unmanagable.
