Needing some guidance Hello fellow addicts. I'm having an awful time with the third step. I really would like some feedback on how you did it and what the third step means to you? I so long for that spirtual awarness and connection that I see others have. How do I get there? What am I supposed to do? My sponsor says to pray or put things out in the universe. I do...sometimes. My connection is not direct and I don't get the warm and fuzzies. WTF AM I DOING WRONG?? |
Hello dredre23, welcome to the SR NA step study forum. I see this is your first post, and based on your questions, you've probably overlooked the NA sub-forums on each of the 12 steps. Many members here have posted their experiences, ideas and opinions on the steps there...you may want to check it out. ...how you did it and what the third step means to you? How do I get there? What am I supposed to do? WTF AM I DOING WRONG?? G ps. here's a couple of links to discussions on step 3 in the 3rd step forum: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...-step-3-a.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...tep-three.html |
Keep in mind it is a 12 step program...not a 3 step progam. Every step brings us closer to our higher power. I agree with Gmoney...it's about making a decision. Have you defined the word "decision"? When I was where you are, I began focusing on the meaning of that particular word at the suggestion of others in the progam who had worked all the steps. I believe I posted what I learned about the word "decide" in another post in the Step 3 section. I made a committment to work the rest of the steps, in order, to the best of my ability. Peace, Missy |
I accepted Jesus as my savior in 2008. I was in jail and read Ezekiel chptr 7 and it made me realize that if I had to pay for all of my sins i would be in agonizing pain for a long time. I replaced the wrd Israel with me my and I and I experienced fear of god for the first time in my life. |
Do u have kids? I have 3 and I wldnt give 1 up to save anyone on this planet. The lord had one son he gave up to save everyone on this earth. Praise Jesus for dying for all our sins. I hope this helps |
