        "Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity" 

Step Two: Learning How to Be Sane
The second step of the process is one filled with hope as it requires us to recognize a greater power is at work. Step two is not one to take lightly, and it is imperative we recognize there is a greater force at play that can help us, so we can begin the process of accepting the help necessary to kick our addictions. The notion of a higher power can be defined in a number of ways, and everyone may not define it the same. However, these different definitions do not make the Higher Power any less critical to the process.

     "Made a decision to turn our will and our life to the care of God as we understood Him"

Step Three: Acceptance
Once we recognize and accept this greater force and commit to turning over our will and lives, we can begin the process of turning things around. To many, this is hard as it may feel like we are giving up control, while we’re actually regaining control and manageability of our lives.

Don’t forget, recovery support groups like AA, NA, and SMART Recovery are an important part of this step. They offer fellowship and an opportunity to spend time with a group of individuals with a shared experience. Building a support system consisting of healthy, recovering friends can be the lifeline that actually saves your life.

This support system will help you stay the course, even when it might be tempting to stray.
