Step 3 of AA: Trusting a Higher Power and Letting Go of Self-Centeredness

I had to learn to trust my higher power, that he has my best interests at heart and that anything I let go and surrender to him and just say: okay, all right, god, I trust you, here it is.
Ever wondered what it means to truly surrender in the journey of recovery? In this episode of Sober Pod, the hosts take a deep dive into Step 3 of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. This crucial step involves making the decision to turn your will and life over to the care of a higher power, as you understand it.
The conversation is rich with personal stories and practical insights on how this surrender can be a game-changer in the path to sobriety. The hosts also discuss the pitfalls of self-centeredness and the role it plays in addiction, emphasizing how humility and right-sizing oneself can pave the way for genuine recovery. You'll hear about the importance of trusting a higher power and how doing so can help you overcome addiction.
One guest shares his journey of learning to trust his higher power, illustrating how surrendering control was pivotal in his recovery. Another shares how reflecting on past experiences has informed his present path, offering valuable lessons for anyone on a similar journey. The episode also touches on the monkey-see, monkey-do approach to recovery, highlighting how helping others can reinforce your own sobriety.
It's an engaging and enlightening discussion that offers both emotional and practical support for anyone navigating the complexities of recovery.
