By deciding to ask a higher power for guidance in step three, we are also deciding to back away from control.
Have you ever wondered how to let go of control and embrace faith in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea dives into the pivotal Step 3 of the ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) program: 'Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand God'.
She opens up about her own struggles and triumphs with this step, offering a candid look at the challenges many adult children face when it comes to relinquishing control and choosing faith over fear. Andrea's journey is not one she takes alone; she is joined by Michelle, a fellow traveler who shares her unique experience with Step 3. Michelle talks about overcoming her initial discomfort with the 'God' concept and finding a personal understanding that brought her peace.
The conversation is rich with personal anecdotes, practical advice, and heartfelt moments that resonate deeply with anyone on a similar path. Andrea also introduces another memorable story involving Brian #2, adding a touch of humor and relatability to the discussion. To help listeners navigate their own fears, Andrea shares her 3 Step Fear Buster method, which includes EFT tapping, Gabby Bernstein's Choose Again Method, and maintaining a gratitude list.
These tools are presented as practical ways to shift from fear to faith, making the episode not just inspiring but also actionable. By the end of the episode, you'll feel encouraged to trust in a higher power and find peace through surrendering control. Whether you're new to the ACA program or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers valuable insights and support.
