Where There Is His Will, You Will Find a Way

Pennsylvania, where I was born and raised, calls itself The Keystone State, because people believed that, like a keystone, Pennsylvania held the other 12 states together.

Today's A.A. Daily Reflection (https://www.aa.org/pages/en_US/daily-reflection) calls Step 3 the keystone step. "The 'other pieces' are Steps One, Two, and Four through Twelve. In one sense this sounds like Step Three is the most important Step, that the other eleven depend on the third for support. In reality however, Step Three is just one of the twelve. It is the keystone...."

But without Step 3, no full recovery from alcoholism can be made. I think that is right. Turning our will and our lives over to the care of God or to our higher power is essential to recovery. It also is essential to the lives of everybody, alcoholic or addict or not.

Trust God. Follow His will. You will find that life is better that way. He knows what is best for our lives.
