When I made the decision to trust in something greater than me, was the moment I started taking steps, towards working the steps. I didn’t know that at the time, because the decision came after the surrender, which led to being open-minded enough to make that decision. This happened without my knowing it, but in hindsight those 3 things were steps 1, 2, and 3. It amazes me that this was something I was led to. We really begin without a clue of what happens in the working of the steps, you hear it over and over, “I can’t believe that my life is what it is today”. Things change in ways that we truly can’t imagine when we begin the process of utilizing the steps, in all our affairs. I don’t know any other way now but to work the steps in my daily life, when I start my morning with the 11th step, I automatically am at step 1, because it indicates, that I know I am powerless, and that’s why I am turning it all over to something greater than me, and I am surrendering my will to be in control. By doing these simple steps as I start my day, the rest of the process begins by doing a 10th step as my day progresses; I know that I must be vigilant, because of what I am. I am so glad I didn’t know how great of a life I had in front of me, because I would have had expectations, and just maybe my intentions would have been entirely different. The steps I take lead, me down a path to the steps I take. Thanks for making a 12 step on this drunk.
