My angel sponsor (she died suddenly a few yrs ago) always asked me what step I was working on ... and my answer was ALWAYS Step One and Step XXX.
The more I work this program, the more things I find over which I am powerless. Today, the difference is that I can see it much more quickly. I am powerless over my kids and their choices, my mom and her health, my boss and her whims, etc etc. Powerlessness isn't a place of weakness, it's a place of strength for me.
When I need a visual of powerlessness, I envision myself going outside in a blinding rain storm, raising my fist to the sky and yelling STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!
Thanks everyone for your input. I'll probably post Step Two on Tuesday.
