Keep It Simple
Love conquers all; let us surrender to love.---Virgil
In Step Three, we turn our lives over to God's care, God love. If we turn our lives over to a loving God, we can conquer all. If you need proof, look around at your next meeting. The room will be full of people who know that love conquers addiction. Like them, we've surrendered to love. Once we've done this, we can't use again. For us, using alcohol or others drugs is an act of hate, not love. To Face the hard things in life,
we'll need a lot of love. We'll find love in our Higher Power, groups, and friends .We're all working at turning our lives over to love.
Prayer for the Day: There was a time that love scared me. It still does, at times. Higher Power, help me see that You are love, and I must follow where love takes me.
About Me
- Anna
- I am a fun loving person that likes to capture all of life's many moments on film. I can be childish and silly... yet have this depth within my soul that scares me at times. I am deeply spiritual (not religious) with a sick and twisted sense of humor. I have been given a new life with sobriety and try to love the best I can one day at a time. I know today that I am a daughter of God and am loved and can share that love with others. I have realized that life isn't so much about things ... it's about all the wonderful relationships in my life. I have been gifted with a beautiful baby girl and a son that has overcome many obstacles in his life so far... both are winners in my book. My greatest challenge has been to overcome the hundred forms of fear that lurks in my mind. My childhood was a place of darkness... today I don't regret the past nor do I want to shut the door on it. I am the woman I am today because of my past and I love the compassion, understanding and strength it has given to me.

Great share. I will remember to take the risks necessary to love today. Those risks include being hurt, burned or rejected. Those are painful things. I will also remember the benefits of love. Those benefits include freedom from addiction, a restoration to sanity, relationships with my family that are beyond my wildest dreams, friendship that touch my soul in ways I never knew possible, an instant family "AA" where ever I travel. These benefits outway the risks by far. The bonus is that while I deal with whatever risk might come my way I am never alone. I have the loving support of my Higher Power, my family, my other family (AA), my sponsor, and my friends. I love you and will always be here for you no matter what. I would do anything for you.
