The first step sounds like surrender to defeat. It is the opposite. Admitting you are powerless over what has been ruling you is not the end of strength — it is the first honest thing, and honesty is where every real recovery starts.
As long as you believe the next attempt of your own will is going to be the one that works, you will keep handing the controls back to the very thing that has been driving you into the wall. The admission breaks that cycle. It moves you off the seat you were never strong enough to hold and opens the door for the only One who can.
Powerlessness is not your identity. It is your starting line. What looks like the bottom is actually the ground God builds on.
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”— 2 Corinthians 12:9
