Step one in the "big book" states, "we admit we are powerless over our addiction, and that our lives have become unmanageable." Are you someone who is not living in acceptance? Are you struggling to accept your reality? Do you believe that you are not powerless over your addiction?

 

In this week's episode, Carlos, Sandy, and Chris discuss what it takes to be arrive at acceptance by admitting our powerlessness. We list ways in which we are powerless over the issues in our own lives. We analyze the cycles of addiction, as well as the increasing hopelessness and shame that comes with feeling powerless. And, we tackle why pride, ego, and delusions often keep us from tapping out and admitting we need help. Humility, grace, and forgiveness are what's required on the path to acceptance over powerlessness.
