Hello cornczech, welcome to SR

Are you an alcoholic?

I’m an alcoholic! Black homeless people, doctors, an abundance of liquor establishments, other alcoholics, or even where I live, doesn’t make me an alcoholic. I just am! Took thirty years of drinking to come to that conclusion but here I am.

So what now?

I don’t buy into the higher power thing but I’m powerless to change this trend. If I’m powerless then where, who or what has the power. As an alcoholic, while drinking alcohol is my higher power.

I need a new higher power…a new solution.

I can start with …… Admitting I’m powerless over alcohol and my life is unmanageable.

This is the first step of AA as I’m sure you are aware. If you don’t like meetings, I’ve got a step one worksheet with a set of questions you can answer.

“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance-----that principle is contempt before investigation.” Herbert Spencer
