We grow small trying to be great.
--E. Stanley Jones

We dreamed of being great. Trying to be great is about control. We've caused a lot of trouble trying to control things. We've been afraid to just let things happen. We're not very trusting. Many of us have good reasons.

Recovery is based on trust. We must learn to trust that it's best for us to give up control. It will seem strange, at first. But letting go and trusting can become a way of life. The Steps, our groups, our sponsor, and our Higher Power -- here, we find love and caring. We can trust them.
