“Step Three asked us to make a decision based upon our acceptance of our addiction and powerlessness that we had identified in Steps One and Two. Before, we alternated between being controlling or controlled.”

– Life with Hope, third edition, page 11

Embers fade with glowing light.

Addictions die with mighty fight.

Our souls rekindled with a renewed pact.

With backs upright and shoulders back,

We walk among the clear of mind.

Dreams return our thoughts in kind.

Our purpose walks a straightened rail.

New life awaits on recovery’s trail.

Final thought: Today, my choices in life are guided by my Higher Power. I no longer walk alone.
