I finished Step Three of my first go around with my sponsor Saturday morning. It was perfect that there happened to be a small cluster of tall, beautiful, deep, dark purple tulips in the library courtyard. We had a view of them from our table where we watched the squirrels run up and down the tree.
I still haven’t put a name or a face to my Higher Power, but I have a pretty good idea. Besides, that’s not the point. I don’t need those to believe and trust in a power greater than myself. I only need to have an understanding of the qualities and faith to turn my life over to my Higher Power.
I’m sitting here trying to decide how I feel about finishing this step. I realized that about a third of the way through working the step, I handed the keys over and decided to be a passenger, not a driver or a backseat driver. That is the best description I can give to this feeling of contentment. It may seem small, but I’m an OCD, Capricorn, alcoholic, woman. It’s a HUGE deal for me to give up control of anything.
