Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God okay if you've made it this far you've gone through step one you've gone through step two or you're just finding this video to learn about step three here we go really this is another huge form of Faith Of Trust of belief that if you follow these steps in a way that's meaningful and honest to you your life will and can change so let's get into it we're here to read step three from Marijuana Anonymous the life with hope book this book has an incredible amount of wisdom and insight for people struggling with weed addiction cannabis addiction marijuana addiction dope whatever you want to call it so we're going to start reading and we'll go from there okay.

So step three called us into action for it was only by action that self-will could be removed our inability to surrender had always blocked the effective entry of a higher power into our lives willingness was the lever with which we moved this obstruction when we took this step we were practicing the principle of faith interesting so part of when I sobered up this idea of God this word God made me want to vomit in my mouth and now that was because of my own issues my understanding of what this word god meant I attached it to the traditional judeo-christian abrahamic religious understanding of God and it took me years to get over that because I had such a fear or such a big ego defense against anything beyond the confines of my egoic self-centered mind so to me the simplest way to incorporate this idea of God or a higher power in the beginning in particular is simply it is not your egoic self-centered will that's what's keeping you suffering that's what's keeping you from opening up to the wonders of the universe to this idea of a higher power to the interconnected beingness of the universe that's what we're trying to connect to here okay that's what we are trying to allow into our lives.

Step three asked us to make a decision based upon our acceptance of our addiction and powerlessness that we had identified in steps one and two before we alternated between being controlling or controlled we either drove other people away with our self-centeredness demanding that others react to our plans and schemes as we would have them react or we resigned from the World by refusing to make decisions for ourselves in either extreme it was selfishness that ran Our Lives.
