Trust the process

‘Trust the Process’ is a phrase we often hear in
recovery. It means having faith that things will work
out alright without our supervision. People with
control issues find it very hard to hand things over to
a Higher Power. There is so much fear connected to
addiction. We become terrified that our erratic
behaviour is going to cause chaos (it usually does).
We conclude that the only response is for us to micromanage
everything. In our confused state, this
doesn’t happen, and we become over-anxious and
desperate. We try to control future events and that
doesn’t work either. Eventually we seek escape in
addictive behaviour. Sobering up, we have to take the
leap of faith by handing over our will and our life to
our Higher Power. Am I ready to trust the process?

The Third Step Prayer is about handing over and
trusting the process: This simple prayer has
brought relief to thousands of addicted people,
regardless of their religious or non-religious views.
As I say the prayer and feel my burden easing, I
know that the process has begun.
