Step 2: "We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
The insanity referred to in this step is not the insanity of using drugs. We were restored to the sanity of not using by surrendering in Step 1. We now find ourselves clean, with our lives in disorder and still unmanageable in many areas. Much of that un-manageability comes from doing the same things we used to do and expect different results each time. Of course, the results of our choices and actions are always the same, un-manageability and insanity in our lives. What is there to do? Either go on the best we can or begin to change our actions and choices, with the awareness of the results of our second step as our guide through recovery.
