I am powerless over the weather, the traffic, other people's actions and many other things, but I am not powerless over driving to the liquor store, buying liquor and putting it in my body.
Well put. Before recovery sometimes I was powerless over not turning into the liqueur store. I'd wish the light would stay green so I could drive straight on. The obsession was stronger then my will power. After I started recovery I found I did have the power to not go to the liqueur store and the desire to drink slowly faded. How that happened I don't know? Hope that made sense. lol
