Don't know what makes you powerless, for me, and many others, it was the fact that once we started we could absolutely not guarantee the outcome. I gave away a lot to my addictions, the primary one was alcohol. The first step only requires a desire to stop. Maintaining sobriety requires a lot more. Good luck.
