There is a handing over in the third step that involves a commitment. I guess people debate the 'nature' of what that commitment is, and how it works, but it doesn't involve drinking.
I think for me the third step came before the second- although I agreed what I was doing was not working, I had not come to believe there was a way forward until about day 3, even then it was only a small glimmer- daring to dream was out of the question.
It is possible- keep at it
