I believe your list means your powerless. You are powerless over alcohol cause you do those things on your list.
Keep up the good work.
Here is my list as simple as possible,
1, when I started to drink I could not stop,
2, when I started to drink I had little/no control over how much I drank,
3, I never knew how I got started again in the first place.
