Step Two ~ Part 1: Questions

"Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity."

"Insanity with alcohol"

1) My disease is dangerous and destructive to myself and others. How have I
acted in irrational, irresponsible and/or insane ways when it comes to
alcohol? Be specific.

2) My disease creates in me a desire to avoid pain and deny reality. Going
back through my inventory in question one which words strike me most
deeply? How do these words make me feel about myself and my disease?

3) My insanity with alcohol is a way of dealing with my feelings, fears, and
problems. What have I been trying to smother and what are some positive
ways to handle these feelings and situations now?
