Hi Kelsh,

It´s great to know that you overcame your anxiety. It gives us hope.

Justme, I use the "god box" all the time. I also use it if I want something which is of importance, but don´t know how to get it. I write down the question, ask the Highter Power to give me an answer and put it away in the "god box". It always works. I believe it´s the subconsious working and if you give it room to work, it delivers.

Wreck, when you have worked on step 2, don´t forget to check out step 3 and 4 and apply them to anxiety.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

I think anxiety is in some way about control. It´s about wanting to control the future, which we cannot really do and the anxiety comes from that. We can only control what we do in the here and now. The first three steps are about giving up self will that has turned destructive and turning it over to the Higher Power.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Love and light,
