Being powerless means that one day you won't be able to recall all those reasons why you shouldn't drink and find yourself drinking.
Let's not get technical here. I hate these kinds of technicalities cause when I was first getting sober my sponsor would say the same kind of stuff to me. "No, it means this" or "No, it means that". The whole thing made me so confused and I didn't want to talk to anyone cause I thought whatever I would say would be wrong!
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.
