Step Two tells me there is a power greater
than ourselves and informs me, that I
am not going to fix my alcohol problem
by myself. The same mind that created
the problem, can't fix it on its own.
I came to believe that doing the things I
did like driving intoxicated, the affairs
I had, the yelling and screaming, the
lying that I believed, the excuses, losing
money, taking money from my family,
the bad business decisions, forgetting
where I parked the car, forgetting
where I had been, who I had talked
to, just to name a few was insane, a
sane person would not do what I had
done. I was on a path of self destruc-
tion that was ruining my health, cost
me my business and my family and I
still did not get the picture and con-
tinued to drink, you could say that I
was not playing with a full deck of
cards. I was insane.
I remember reading Think and Grow
Rich by Napoleon Hill and the Great-
est Story Ever Told by Earl Nighting-
ale that said we have a power that is
greater than ourselves and if we used
it, our lives would be enriched. I have
chosen to call on that power and I
call him God.
Now I have real hope that I can recover
I have an open mind about it, I don't
doubt my Higher Power and there-
fore have faith and as long as I keep
faith, I know, I will be alright.
