in life, I am a passenger. I didn't do too good when I was the driver.
on a school bus, I think Id want to be a passenger,too. I remember how I was and also how a lot of the other kids were and I wouldn't be responsible for all them lil monsters!

In life im driving with God as my co-pilot. I
looked over to the passanger side of the car
and there He is. Never do I ever have to be
alone. He makes the most Awesome company
to have while driving, guiding me every mile
I drive, every step I make, every breath I take.
He in my opinion is the Best Awesome HP or
God of my understanding to have in my recovery
life.

I allowed alcohol to drive my life for years until I made a choice to change. It's the best choice that I ever made.
Today, I have a choice, I am not powerless!!

mmmm...I chose 9 months ago (Monday) to turn the driving of my life over to my Higher Power. Each day I am amazed at how much better my life is 'running' because I'm NOT doing the driving.

Also, it means to be the driver to accept that everything in my life is the result of my decisions and actions. So is alcoholism, even though it is easy to start playing the victim mentality. It is to take responsibility for the own life, and make it into something better. It doesn't mean asking God to do things for me that I should be doing myself. Powerful, not powerless. Yes.

Just like gravity that keeps us from floating all the time.
