This week, the Recovered Podcast will continue our step study journey. On Tuesday, January 26, 2016, The Recovery Topic is Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
With the first step, we accepted the fundamental problem we face as alcoholics, our powerlessness over alcohol and the unmanageability of our lives. In the second step, we found the nature of our solution: a Power greater than ourselves who could restore us to sanity. In the third step, we discover how to make use of that solution by turning our will and our lives over to the care of that power.
Step 3 has been summarized as: I can’t, God can, I think I’ll let him.
The 12 and 12 says, “… the effectiveness of the whole AA program will rest upon how well and earnestly we have tried to come to a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.”
Steps 1, 2, and 3 are the foundation of our program.
Let’s talk about this solution. Tap Speakpipe (especially if you are outside the Unites States) or call 1-734-288-7510 and answer the following question(s):
