Step 2

Step 2

2.   Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.[1]

I have always believed in God.  I have always been a very spiritual person.  But there is a certain awareness that comes with working Step 2.  There is something very eye-opening, comforting, soothing, like taking a huge load off, that happens when I work Step 2.

Just remembering that God is there to help me is a huge help.  It is not all my fault.  I don’t have to do it alone.  God is there.  Just believing that is a huge relief.  Remembering this on a daily basis is progress for me. A light goes on. It is the light in me that is part of God.  It is the good in me that connects with him.  All good in me comes from God.  When I remember that he is there to help me, that light goes on, and the channel is opened.  He is there to help me.

Working Step 2 restores me to sanity.
