I did what Kaliope did -- I broke it down into 2 parts. Obviously I was powerless over alcohol -- I NEVER drank without getting drunk! I never planned on getting drunk -- that's just the way it happens! I cannot have just 1 or 2 -- never could.
And BOY was my life unmanageable! Since I certainly couldn't regulate my drinking or make my life any better, I became convinced that a Power greater than me MUST be able to handle it! And I was right -- once I became WILLING to believe, things started going much better! 
And Step 1 IS an on-going process. I have to reaffirm my powerlessness often. It's worked for me -- it's been almost 19 years since my last drink.
Good luck & keep on keepin on. Hugs, Lee
