I’ve been rediscovering the second half of the First Step lately. My emotional life is unmanageable. But just as my admission of powerlessness over lust is the key to my sexual sobriety, so my admission of powerlessness over my emotions is the key to my emotional sobriety. What a liberating force this dual admission of powerlessness can be when I turn it over to God and get the strength to function that I otherwise do not have! Thank God, what a gift!
