“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.”
“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 5 · How It WorksWhere it comes from
Step One as printed in Chapter 5 of the 1939 first edition. Bill W. drafted the Steps in 1938, expanding the early fellowship’s informal program into twelve definite proposals.
Today’s reflectionThe only Step that mentions alcohol, and the only one the book treats as needing to be taken completely. It’s also the only one you can take in total defeat — in fact, that’s the only way it works. Powerless isn’t hopeless: admitting the car has no brakes is the first piece of information that can actually save your life. Surrender, here, is intel.
