I have a question - I'm a newcomer. I am in Step 1 at the moment - I feel as though I have surrendered to the first part of the step and am in a process of surrendering to the second.
I still feel fear of alcohol and get cravings. Are the two things, in your experience, mutually exclusive or is it normal to have cravings/fear of alcohol/creeping thoughts that "I could handle it" (immediately followed, for me, by a reminder of my written Step 1)?
