Hi all,

I'm really struggling with step 3 right now (if you hate 12 step programs, I'd appreciate your not sharing). I believe in a higher power but somehow seem unwilling / unable to relinquish control to him/her. Part of my hangup I know goes back to childhood with super bible thumper relatives who really messed me up for organized religion for good. I know that my willpower has done nothing but get me into a whole heap of trouble lately but it also got me a lot of good things before drink intervened so I sometimes thing my drinking is more about the choices I make than my powerless over alcohol. (maybe I need to do more work on steps 1 & 2 too.) I guess what I'm asking with this somewhat rambly post is how do you interpret step three in your life and put it into practice?

Thanks.
