Alright, listen up, chico, ’cause the Third step, it’s like taking a leap of faith, you know? It’s about turning your will and your life over to the care of a higher power, trusting that there’s a plan for you, even if you can’t see it yet.
For me, it was like saying, ‘Alright, I’ve tried to run the show on my own, and look where it got me.’ I had to admit that I couldn’t do this alone, that I needed help, that I needed something greater than myself to guide me.
It was scary, chico, letting go of that control, but it was also liberating. It was like taking off a heavy backpack and realizing I could walk a little taller without it. It was like saying, ‘Alright, I’m handing this over to you, now show me the way.’
And you know what, chico? Once I did that, once I turned my will and my life over to the care of a higher power, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. It was like finally finding some peace in the midst of all the chaos.
So yeah, that’s how I worked my Third step, chico, by turning my will and my life over to the care of a higher power, and trusting that there’s a plan for me, even if I can’t see it yet. And let me tell you, it was the first step toward finding true freedom, true peace.
