Lightbulb 3rd Step

Step 3 is where I find myself. Over two years into my sobriety. I guess I've been pausing a bit

Interesting thing I noted. I got out the old 12 and 12. Yes it was dusty. And I reread Step 3. The serenity prayer at the conclusion was very familiar.

But the final line somehow I have never seen or heard before

"Thy will, not mine, be done." My initial reaction to that is fear. So that is where I begin. . . Used the prayer as a meditation as I fell to sleep. The final line was a deliberate effort. I just tried to let the meaning soak in. Then I woke up this AM and decided to check in.
