I have been working on this Step quite a bit. I have a strong faith, but I learned in Al-Anon that it isn't necessary the God of our childhood, OR of our adulthood, but rather a power that is a complement to the Lord and my faither. Kind of like my extra buffer-knowing that my soft landing will happen but ONLY if I give it up. Give up that pathological need for control, for knowing (why?) and focusing the energy on myself because this is what healthy looks like. And I wake up every day and breathe in and remind myself that I have NO control over anything but myself-and all I can do is pray to serve my God's will-not that of a disease.
