By admitting that we are unable to manage our own lives, we become ready to let a Higher Power take over. Before we can fully benefit from God's direction, we must let go completely of the idea that we are in control. Food for Thought Trying to control my addiction is not admitting that I am powerless over my disease. It is an act of denial. The only form of control I have, is the ability to be able to turn it over to my Higher Power. I am given freedom of choice. I choose to turn my thinking as well as my addiction over to my Higher Power. When I turn it over, I then need to let go and leave them in my Higher Power's hand. I can justify and rationalize what I do, yet when in truth, it is still using. Recovery is about making healthy choices. Something that I need help with. I sometimes feel that I am being deprived and want what I can't have. The addict in me says, "Don't tell me I can't." There is compromise and alternatives. I have found that fruit is a good substitute for cakes and pies and even too many of those raise my blood sugar. I need to let go of my old habits and ways of thinking and rethink my way into good health. I don't have to do it alone.
