"Once more: The alcoholic at certain times has no effective mental
defense against the first drink. Except in a few rare cases, neither
he nor any other human being can provide such a defense. His defense must come from a Higher Power."

More About Alcoholism, pg. 43~

If drinking produces in us a craving beyond our ability to control and we are unable to refrain from drinking despite our knowledge of the adverse consequences and our most firm resolve not to, then apart from divine help, we are most certainly defenseless.
Our best thinking offers no insurance against relapse. Human power cannot overcome either the phenomenon of craving or alcoholic insanity. When we admit that we are powerless over alcohol, we have nowhere else to turn but to a Higher Power.
