"I am powerless but not helpless."
i once felt powerless over alcohol and kept relapsing. i felt i was hopeless. the longer i have stayed sober the less i feel helpless. recognizing that i was powerless while drinking gave me the willingness to change.

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
