3rd step is working


Turning it over to your HP ! Its been working for me all week.

I just had the break through where I could not handle the craziness with my son and AH. I turn it over every day I wake up. and it feels like a load off my back.

I love it. Like the 3 C i remind myself of them daily when the feeling starts to build with my controling thr A. 
 
I will try daily not to let the disease control me too. 

I feel at peace right now. Thanks to the 12 step program.

Peacewithin,

Isn't it funny how when we "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." (Step 3) things get better for us.

I think it's interesting how the steps are in the "past" tense. We admitted we were powerless..., Came to believe..., Made a decision..., it's a process that when we are commited to it everyday it works for us, as it has for you.

I am grateful that you have found the peace and serenity of the al-anon program...now for step 4! biggrin

Good luck to you in your journey!

i never noticed they were in the past tense. My son is having a second surgery on his arm today. I have no choice but to turn things over.

Thanks for the share on my favorite step!

I love how this step is worded, that I made the decision...

and I love turning it over to the care of God... to God's "care." WOW! GOD CARES!

My husband used to think we were fortunate to know a few millionaires....

GOD OWNS THE UNIVERSE!!!! IT ALL BELONGS TO GOD, AN ENDLESS SUPPLY


I can't.

God can.

Heck yeah.... I THINK I'LL LET HIM!!


Firm and simple trust. (smile)
