9. I strongly believe in the concept of the higher power
Thu Jun 6, 2013, 09:33 PM

and each of us must create that for ourselves, elsewise, it's just somebody else's higher power. I think there is a more omniscient me and an everyday me. The everyday me slogs through life, but when the temptation to use my drug of choice comes up, I turn to my higher power. I hand everything over to her, because while my everyday me, is a mere mortal, my higher power is made of stronger stuff. She does the right thing every single time so I trust her with my life.

Now, the times when I forget to let her drive, well, those are times I end up creating new situations that will require amends. No fun.
