The Seduction of Power The theme of power is addressed in the first of the Twelve Steps. A man recognized his desire for power and that alcohol could give him this feeling. Reality painfully proved to him how treacherous alcohol is that while it promises power it delivers the reverse, totally crushing him and exposing his powerlessness to the world. As I listened, I could not help but wonder how many listeners thought, That may be true for him, but I am different. How many young people will refuse to recognize their impotence until they are humbled by addiction? Whoever said that alcohol was cunning, baffling, and powerful certainly knew what he was talking about.
