Finding Your Next Step

This is not AA approved literature, but it carried a message to me.
I had to learn that if I didn't know, it was okay. I had to learn to go within and find the answers that were right for me. Not what someone else told me I should do or think, but what was right for me. I had to learn to not discount myself although all my life I was told my opinions didn't matter; that who was I to know; what made me think someone else wanted to hear what I had to say. My spiritual adviser told me that if I didn't know the time wasn't right and that when it was, I would be given my own knowingness. My sponsor told me if I didn't trust myself, I was not trusting the God of my understanding. When I turn my day over to my Higher Power then the way will be made clear to me. I will be given the words, the directions, the thoughts, the actions I needed to live in today. Some days, it seems I need all 12 Steps to get through. As a woman shared one time, I had to learn to learn and practice the Traditions so I could live long enough to work the Steps. I still apply them daily. I often had to pray for the willingness to be willing to work the Step in today. Other times, I had to pray for the willingness to be willing to move on to the next one. Thanks for letting me share. |

Thanks for sharing! I'm finding that not all literature helpful to recovery is necessarily AA approved.

Was told by my sponsor, if I got to a place where everything was just fine and I got comfortable with the space I was in, then it was time to move on, take that next step.
