Hi DSM,
Hope you are doing o.k. It was good to hear you are taking some action around step four. It's the first real work of the program.
There was a little issue with the first step which defeated me with the rest of the program. It was like a seed, just sitting there, undermining my efforts, taking away the only true motivation for solving my problem. It made me less than thorough in everything I did, less than honest, for though I had accepted I was an alcoholic and my life was unmanageable today, there was this delusion that one day it might all turn out to be a mistake.
The book puts it, " The delusion that we are like other people or presently maybe, has to be smashed" my last bender smashed it, I hope yours did too.
All the best

OK OK, now the words on the wall are just 12 words out of 43 pages.
Why are you powerless?
Why is your life unmanagable?
Its stated in those 43 pages, read it, understand it.
Seriously, 12 words out of 43 pages. Obsession of the mind, Allergy of the body, phenomenon of craving. One is too many, 100 is never enough.

My life is unmanageable because I continue to drink even though I know I can't control it once I start.
