Step 3 asks us to “make a decision” to turn our will to the care of a higher power. Why is this so hard for many of us?
I looked back over 15 years at the 3 times I have worked step 3, and found the answers I wrote in 2002, 2011, and 2017 for these questions about making a decision.
- Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
- How do I feel about turning my life over to a Higher Power for guidance?
- How do I know who or what my Higher Power is?
- Am I willing to turn my problems over? What could help me be willing?
- How can I stop thinking, trying, and considering, and actually make a decision?
- Have I had a problem making decisions in my life? Give examples.
If I am unable to make a decision, what holds me back?
