You have to redefine the itemize environment (or define a new myitemize if you
still need the default one). Something like this (this does only use the
level1 items):
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
\begin{list}{\labelitemi}{%
\settowidth{\labelwidth}{\labelitemi}%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
}%
}{\end{list}}

use standard environment and increase the nesting depth (Shift+Alt ->) for the
continuing text.
