Everything and everyone in my Life when I was using, was centered around drugs or using drugs
No hope. Going against what you want or know you should do.

In the context of sobriety, it is my inability to set limits or control my alcohol use. It is my admission that my alcohol use has negative consequences that affect my health and quality of life, and my actions have brought me great shame. It is my admission that, no matter how hard I try, I cannot manage my addiction alone.

Powerless against alcohol, BUT ONLY AFTER THE FIRST DRINK. I won’t even get in the ring with alcohol, as I know I’d lose. Admitting I was powerless over alcohol gave me my power back, ironic I know. So much good in acceptance. Alcohol doesn’t control me if I st as y away from the drink that matters. . . The first drink. Thanks to @Yoda-Stevie for giving us these words of wisdom.

Powerless, wrt drinking, means I can’t control how much I drink. Once Ive had one I’m going to have a hundred!! It’s best for me to just never have that first one. And I DO have control over that.
