Hi everyone, I am going through my steps once again with my sponsor. I wanted to find out what your thoughts were about step 3. How did you feel working through it? What challenges were present in your life at that time? Was it a pivotal step to your recovery and why? I hope this topic helps others who are working their steps, as well. Hugs and love to everyone here today!

I've done it a couple of times my friend, and it's interesting because each time I go through it, more is revealed. I felt scared the first time - fear based because I had done my will for so, so long. Realizing that had not worked and I as well as my style, attitudes, etc. were insane, I felt I had no choice. So - first time was a bit different than other times - other times, felt hopeful for my future and for the many blessings I would receive by engaging HP (God) in all I think, say, do and consider.
My thoughts for the last go around are over there on the same step board Betty pointed you to. I have fallen behind lately - *sigh* - life gets in the way at times!!
