Finding Serenity: Embracing Step Three in OA12
If truly I work the third step of OA, I get to find relief by living in God's will.
Lauren Lansrud takes us on a heartfelt journey through the third step of Overeaters Anonymous (OA12) in this episode of 'Promise of Recovery'. Imagine sitting in a room filled with people who understand your struggles, and one person's story resonates so deeply that it changes your perspective. That's exactly what happened to Lauren during a recent OA meeting.
A fellow member's reflections on genuinely embracing Step Three—turning one's will and life over to the care of God—left a profound impact on her. But as Lauren explains, this step is far from simple. It requires ongoing prayer, humility, and the courage to surrender self-will. The rewards? A sense of spiritual peace that, while it may ebb and flow like waves, ultimately leads to a steady and lasting serenity.
Lauren's personal experiences and insights provide valuable lessons for anyone facing the challenges of addiction and recovery. So, if you're curious about how truly committing to Step Three can transform your life, this episode is a must-listen.
