"Take my will and my life. Guide me in my recovery. Show me how to live."Basic Text p. 25
How do we begin the process of letting our Higher Power guide our lives? When we seek advice about situations that trouble us, we often find that our Higher Power works through others. When we accept that we don't have all the answers, we open ourselves to new and different options. A willingness to let go of our preconceived ideas and opinions opens the channel for spiritual guidance to light our way.

At times, we must be driven to the point of distraction before we are ready to turn difficult situations over to our Higher Power. Anxiously plotting, struggling, planning, worrying - none of these suffice. We can be sure that if we turn our problems over to our Higher Power, through listening to others share their experience or in the quiet of meditation, the answers will come.There is no point in living a frantic existence. Charging through life like the house is on fire exhausts us and gets us nowhere. In the long run, no amount of manipulation on our part will change a situation. When we let go and allow ourselves access to a Higher Power, we will discover the best way to proceed. Rest assured, answers derived from a sound spiritual basis will be far superior to any answers we could concoct on our own.
#######ROSIE.....well i have been driven to the point of *scrambling* and distraction B4 i could sit in my truck and cry and say "i can't DO this anymore...can't TAKE this anymore.....i am done...i give it UP".....as i cried , i felt something *let go*....like unhooking...........for me??? trying to control.....scrambling to stay ahead of the crap....truggling....worrying.....fearing *whats next*??????.......this share right here, is telling me, that i was right to do my "HP work".....to really let go, not just in my lips , but my HEART!!!!!!.....each night, the tv goes OFF at a certain time and the "HP work" goes ON.........i have been living *frantic*......it is robbing me of my joy/ my happiness.....and wearing me out......yeah, just *dodging bullets*....is what i have been doing......just moving w/out thinking....REacting.........i know i know i have to admit that i am POWERLESS over this *need to keep my hands clenched tightly* on a situation......the old fear of being helpless, is so deep....i guess i just have to keep working step 3 on it...doing affirmations that i TRUST my hp....my hp takes CARE of me...etc....i made a new audio to that effect.....a *love me/ love God* thing...........wow!!! this is a huge confirmation........
Just for today: I will let go and let my Higher Power guide my life.
