Relinquishing (the illusion of) Control - Step 3

Step 3.  Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Relinquishing (the illusion of) Control of the Universe 

.

One of the hallmark symptoms of alcoholics and addicts everywhere is the desire and attempts to control situations, people, places and things. If you have any active alcoholics in your life, or if you are in recovery, you will understand. If you are suffering yourself from an addiction, you may not yet be able to see this in your own life. That is called Denial.  

But you don’t have to be an addict to be a ‘control freak’, this is a symptom that runs rampant, and runs havoc, through many people’s lives.The irony is, that the more a person attempts to control outcomes in their lives, and in the lives of others, the more out of control life gets. This is very plain for someone considering stopping or cutting down alcohol or, say, tobacco use. Even the thought of some sort of control  or diminishment of the substance of addiction creates an increased obsession to  use or drink. Ask anyone who has tried to stop smoking more than once, or someone who is coming off of a strict diet, the next phase is often called Binge!

As human beings, we are all seeking some sort of comfort and happiness. In the beginning, addicts found this sense of well-being in the drink or the drug, but it did not last. And not only did the sense of ease and comfort not last, but it did, in fact turn the tables on the alcoholic, and his or her loved ones and family. The active alcoholic roars through life like a tornado, creating destruction and pain wherever he/she goes. 

Trying to regain that comfortable ‘happy’ feeling, the alcoholic tries a little harder, trying different tactics. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says: “Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if he only manages well?” (p. 81). And this is the delusion that will lead an active alcoholic to jails, institutions or death.

In Step 1, the alcoholic realizes and admits they are powerless over alcohol, and their lives are unmanageable. No amount of human willpower or control will change that.  Step 2 suggests that the ability for the miracle of sobriety will come only from an act of Providence. Step 3 is when the alcoholic decides that they will let this Providence  work in their life, and asks for help. In the rooms of AA you can hear that “God is a gentleman. He will only enter your life if you humbly ask Him.” When a person invites a Higher Power to take over the care of their will and their lives (or thoughts and actions), everything changes.  In 12 Step language this is called surrender. We know how most people feel about surrender – awful!! But, we are challenged to look at this surrender in a new way. Surrender = Moving to the Winning Side. And this does change everything.

In Step 3, we make a decision that we are now going to do the best we can to align ourselves with God’s will. An extraordinary concept to someone used to trying to run the whole show. The person is relinquishing control, and will do their best to now live life on life’s terms, not their own terms.  And the amazing thing happens.  When real recovery begins, the alcoholic becomes willing to do many things that were completely unfathomable at one time. The moral inventory, the forgiveness, the restitution, the helping of others, the selflessness, these things are now not only possible, but desirable.  All the years of chasing happiness through attempts to control and achieve self-gratification failed. The alcoholic finds, beyond their wildest dreams, that happiness is a byproduct of good living, and doing the right thing.

After Step 1 and 2, none of the other steps can be completed authentically without doing Step 3. The action steps of becoming honest and clearing away the wreckage of the past become the unexpected vehicle for happiness. Happy for no reason? Well, in addiction recovery we very well know the reason. The reason is that we have stopped playing “God” in our own lives, and have surrendered to a God of our understanding that is a power greater than ourselves. In recovery, happiness is an inside job, but there is a lot of work to be done first.
