Letting the Power Work

My first memory of a Step Two discussion was in a meeting at the treatment center where I began my recovery. A sober alcoholic told me I had to start at the end of this Step, because it didn't apply to me unless I believed I was insane. Fortunately, I had no problem with that belief. I really had thought all along that I was simply insane and that one day they would just lock me up and throw away the key so I couldn't harm myself or others. In fact, I was relieved to discover that I had the disease of alcoholism. At least there was a reason for the insanity.
