Hi Everyone I'm new to this stuff. But here are my thoughts on letting go. In the program one of the first things we are taught is to "let go and let God." However, in order to do this one must believe in and have faith in a higher power. I remember when I first started going to meetings. I was agnostic. I thought everyone who spoke about God, prayer, and meditation were nuts. However, I was so desperate, that I was willing to disregard my own thoughts and do what people staying clean were doing. They told me to go to meetings. They said to get a sponser. I was told to pray, every morning, and thank my higher power at night for another day clean. I did these things on a daily basis. Soon I started to see the fruits of my work. There were times when I was in great pain, and the right person would just happen to show up. There were many coincidences that I could not explain. I began to develop faith. I started to believe that there was some kind of energy that loved me and wanted me to be happy and healthy. As my faith grew I began to be able to "let go" of things I could'nt change. I began to trust that God would be there. The energy I call God never lets me down. I now have learned that I can trust him. The more I try to get understand what my higher power wants from me, the stronger my faith becomes. Faith is trust. I can let go because I know that God will handle what I cannot. Peace.
