The Powerless aspect of addiction is simple to understand. Look at all the things you regret about the consequences of your substance use and ask yourself the question? Are things working out as I planned for them to work? Or not?
If your answer is, "NOT!" Powerlessness is the reason. If you didn't intend for these things to occur? That is "Powerlessness!" You are culpable! You were there, were you not?
Acceptance on page 449 of volume 3 in the AA Big Book explains the way to achieve acceptance of your addiction. Or not? I guess things are working out the way you planned them! Or, do the work, read the book! Or not! Suffering is optional, I promise!
Good Health and Be Blessed!
Alcohol is a depressant drug which is addictive.
Be aware. If you partake, you are at risk! The reality can be quite regrettable!
Worth the risk? If you drink, you are culpable.
