Step One in Alcoholics Anonymous
Admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
Step One in Living Free
I now see [admit] that I, of myself, am powerless, unable to control [manage] my life by myself.
We must every day, no matter how long we have been clean, remain in a mindset of powerlessness. Once we start thinking that we are strong in our own power then we are in trouble.
1 Corinthians 10:12
New Living Translation (NLT)
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
