Other people lose trust in them. They can count on themselves some of the time, but they can't count on themselves all of the time. Give a few examples. People who are powerless have accidents. They fall down, or have an accident in the car, when they are intoxicated.
Evidence proves that drugs profoundly affect thinking, coordination, and reaction time.
Describe each accident. People who are powerless lose control of their behavior. They do things that they wouldn't normally do when clean and sober. They may get in a fight. They may hit or yell at someone they love, their spouse, child, parent, or friend.
