Strangely Insane

I have a disease that centers in how I think, a disease of perception. My self-centered fear overbears, subdues, and cancels out reality, unleashing harm. Harm to others and harm to self. In Step 2, we find out that there is a solution to this pattern of abuse. But before I can accept this solution, before I can come to believe in a Power greater than myself, I have to understand that I am insane. So, for Step 2 to work, I have to accept that my thinking is the problem. I have to say to myself, “No, I do not believe this nonsense. I will not follow through with this scheme. There is a better way. I need help. My Higher Power can help me.”
