I have read within budddhist recovery sources how some AA'ers use the concept of the law of Karma as a higher power.

I would be interested to hear of any thoughts on this and whether anyone here does this.

I got stressed out over an issue yesterday. Step 3 is something i am learning and developing at the moment. I felt praying or meditating on it didn't really help, so thought how would the law of Karma relate to this.

My thoughts are that i should accept the consequence of my actions. What basically happened was that my ex wife became insulting because she couldn't get her own way, regarding her wanting me to take time off work tomorrow for the kids. I do help out if i can, i do generally say yes to her requests, but there are times when i say no and rather than back down, which i used to, i will explain why i am saying no and stand firm, i certainly will not now be walked all over by my ex.

Anyhow i got to thinking with repect to the law of Karma, that the consequences of me saying no, therefore means that my ex wife does get insulting and does get angry. Whether i allow this to effect me is my choice.

But is this how the law of karma works? Is it a case of accepting the results of my actions?
