Welcome equis1978.

I am not familiar with any workbook so I'm not sure what the questions are.

The hardest thing for me is to really get honest, not so much with others but with myself. We admitted means we are being honest. Thats all you have to do to answer the questions. Look at the questions and look at how they apply in your life warts and all with complete abandon.

The 2 questions I know of in the first step are:

1: Am I powerless? If not then I don't need to stop drinking. If I can actually control my drinking for any length of time, one night, one month whatever. Then I'm not powerless. In my case equis1978 I don't have control.

2: Is my life manageable? If I'm powerless over alcohol and I'm drinking then I'm not doing a very good job of managing my life. In my case it doesn't I don't stand a chance when I'm drinking and when I'm sober....... I don't know.

The key with both of these questions is to be thoroughly honest. I can't afford not to be with this step.

There is plenty of experience strength and hope here so keep coming back and I'm sure you will find the answers you are looking for. :smile:

the questions because I did not use a workbook. I do know that this is the only step I have to do perfectly.:85:
