Is there anything that stands in the way of my trusting a HP? What obstacles block me from turning over my will to HP? In my case, the answer is obvious: I want guarantees, I hold out, thinking that I"ll come up with a new solution to my problems even though I've tried and failed again and again. The risk of faith seems so great. If I turn a situation over, I wont be in control. I cant be sure I'll get my way!
Yet I want recovery. If I continue to do what I have always done. I will continue to get what I have always gotten, I want the benefits that this spiritual program has to offer. Therfore I must take the risk and let and let my HP.
Maybe faith will bring me the results I seek, maybe not. Although there are no guarantees, the beneifits of building a strong relationship with a HP can help me to grow confident, strong and capable of coping with whatever comes to pass long after the particular crisis has been resolved.
Today I will make a contribution to my spiritual development. I will try to identify the obstacles that block my faith.

Thanks for the reminder. I too am a control freak and am scared to give that up. What if I don't like what my HP has in store for me. Too bad, I guess. It is so hard to undo what years with an alcoholic in our lives have trained us to do. But you are right, if we keep doing what we have always done, we WILL keep getting what we always get. And if that was so great we would not be here, now would we.
Keep sharing, you bring strength to us all.
