"We admitted we were powerless over alcohol (our dependencies) that our lives have become unmanageable."

Powerless over our separation from our spiritual base, we use dependencies to fill the void caused by that separation

Unhealthy Dependencies

Alcohol or Drugs Work or Achievement Exercise Overspending Sexual Addiction Approval

People, Places, Things Food Tobacco Control Addictions Power Religiosity Shopping

We use dependencies to avoid our pain.
We live in a fantasy world.
We cannot cope with life.
Our denial kept us from seeing how powerless and unmanageable our lives had become.

Surrender is the answer

We had to stop fighting a Higher Power, ourselves and others.

The solution:

Honesty

Open-mindedness

Willingness
