Topic for thought

The subject of this week’s session is all about choosing an exciting new life or sticking with the old shabby one that hasn’t worked too well. Over the last month we have come to see that we have been powerless to successfully change our addictive behaviour no matter how hard we have tried. As a result our lives have become increasingly unmanageable and some of the things we have been doing could be considered to be ‘insane’. We have begun to realise that we need a power greater than ourselves who will begin to change us and restore us to sanity, and this power is found in God. !

The Issue

The purpose of Step 3 is to help us realise that God can manage our life far better than we can. Once we put God at the centre of our life and give Him the permission to change us, everything else begins to fall into place for the better.

The Goals

• On completion of Step 3 we should be able to...

• Realise my need to let God have His influence in my life

• Realise I don’t need to be in total control 100 per cent of the time

• Realise that God is a caring God who can be trusted

• Realise that God is not like my own parents
