336: We Had to Quit Playing God

by | Aug 5, 2022 | #Women, Big Book, Community, Spiritual, Step 3

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

In this episode of Studying the Steps, Teresa & Patrice share their experience and knowledge of Step 3 as outlined in The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Together they talk about how they learned what selfishness and self centeredness looked like and how it shows up in their own life, what it means to play God, and what God’s will vs. self will looks like.
