Although I believed that there was a God, I did not believe that fact
necessarily made a difference in my case. The steps were a help, though
not at first.
 
1. My life was unmanageable.
2. A power greater than me (HP) could restore sanity.
3. I made a decision to allow that power to restore my sanity by
managing what I could not manage.
 
I also strted to pray. My first prayer included the fact that I figured
that I was better off trying this now and finding later that I shouldn't
have bothered rather than not trying it and finding out later that I
should have tried it. I also said that I didn't know what I was doing
and that I spoke English and that whatever I was praying to probably did
but how the heck was I supposed to understand any answer?
 
I got a feeling that this was OK. And I also felt that I wasn't the one
that decided that. Kind of hard to explain to someone.
 
Heck, my dog doesn't speak english either. And we tend to understand
each other quite well. He trusts me, and he has faith in me, though he
does tend to think I'm GONE FOREVER when I'm late from work unless I
tell him I'll be late.  Hmm...
