Understanding "Insanity" in AA
The First Drink: The Big Book defines "insanity" as the irrational, often "alco-logical" thinking that leads to taking the very first drink despite consequences.
Powerlessness: It describes a loss of the power of choice over alcohol, often referred to as a "spiritual malady".
Mental Obsession: The insanity is the mental obsession that makes an alcoholic believe they can drink safely, even if they know they cannot.
