Voices of Recovery Quotes

“Practicing the Principle of faith today means that we no longer go through life acting however we feel like acting at any given moment. Instead, we look to our Higher Power for guidance and strength as we face each decision.” —The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, 2nd ed., p. 85 I used to sit on the fence, afraid of making decisions. What if I made the wrong decision? Faith in God has taught me that decisions need not scare me. As I work Step Three, I try to find God’s will for me for each day. If I honestly seek his will, I believe I am practicing Step Three. I turn to God for guidance and wait for the intuitive knowledge that he provides. I have come to believe that there are no mistakes or “wrong” decisions—only different lessons. Whichever way I go, I learn something. I trust God to provide me with those lessons and look forward to learning and growing.”
