Step 3: Surrender & Trust
"Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."
Step 3 is a turning point — not just in recovery, but in life. After admitting powerlessness and opening to belief, we now face a decision: to let go and let God. To hand over control of our lives, not out of weakness, but out of trust.
🌊 What Does Step 3 Mean?
This step doesn’t require religious beliefs. It only asks us to consider the idea that our own self-will hasn’t served us well. Step 3 is about surrender — not passive giving up, but active willingness to live differently, with spiritual guidance.
