The 3rd Step

Hey gang,

I've been reading over step 3 and I get the reasoning for it... and I even see the part about "whatever God is for you" give yourself over to it.

How do you do this? Is it just a willingness to believe that my "higher power" will guide me? What if I don't know what/who that higher power is? Do I believe there is a higher power than myself? I sure hope so. It would suck if human beings were the end all beat all of existance. Do I believe that he/she/it/they are somehow guiding us through the cosmos? Not really. If that were the case they are doing a pretty crappy job ;p Do I think I have the ability with making choices that guide myself through life, yes. Does that make my choice somehow powered by my higher power? Hell if I know.

Do you just make the statement without really feeling it? If so, what's the point. If not, am I stuck here at step 3 forever? I am feeling impatient and I want to move on but I'm not willing to fake it - I've done "faking it" to death.

Your thoughts are welcomed.

Thanks,

Suga
