It's no wonder then that an alcoholic can come to feel utterly powerless when it comes to booze and would need to surrender to an external locus of power.

For me alcoholism IS surrendering to an "external locus of power".

The steps, as useful as they are for many, simply subsititute one higher power for another. Harm reduction indeed.
