The Language of Letting Go

[Guest guest]

Back to the Steps November

28

Go back to the Steps. Go back a Step.

When we don’t know what to do next, when

we feel confused, upset, distraught,

at the end of our rope, overwhelmed, full of self-will,

rage, or despair, go back to the

Steps.

No matter what situation we are facing, working a

Step will help. Focus on one,

trust your instincts, and work it.

What does it mean to work a Step? Think about

it. Meditate on it. Instead of

focusing on the confusion, the problems, or the situation

causing our despair or rage,

focus on the Step.

Think about how that Step might apply. Hold on

to it. Hang on as tightly as we

hang onto our confusion or the problem.

The Steps are a solution. They work. We can

trust them to work.

We can trust where the Steps will lead us.

When we don’t know what step to take, take one

of the Twelve.

Today, I will concentrate on sing the Twelve Steps to

solve problems and keep me in

balance and harmony. I will work a Step to the best

of my ability. I will learn to trust the

Steps, and rely on them instead of my protective,

codependent behaviors.
