So as we were discussing Step 1, I kept looking at the wall and trying to see where I am. Step 1 - I absolutely admit that I am powerless over alcohol. That is why I choose daily not to drink. AND THAT'S WHERE I END. RIGHT THERE. For a year and 5 months that's where I have stayed. White Knuckling it. (thanks to whoever brought that up, because i have thought about that ever since you said it. and yes I white-knuckle it every day.) Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity: Do I believe in a Power greater then myself? Yes. The God of my understanding is the Lord and Leader of my life. Do I believe He can restore me to sanity? Depends on what the word "Sanity" means. Right now I can't ever imagine not wanting to drink. I weep about it all the time. So maybe I should move this post over to the 12 Step Support section and ask What does Sanity mean to all of you... and how do I get beyond this step. So I think I'm moving from "still struggling" to "taking steps". | |
