Putting God in Charge

For people with inflated egos -- who consider asking for help to be an admission of weakness -- reality consists either of the impossible or that which they can do themselves. As a result, they either give up on things that could be accomplished with help or foolishly tackle things alone that are beyond their capacity. Enlisting the help of a Higher Power puts reality back into proper perspective. This is an essential ingredient of recovery. Of course, when we accept this and relinquish the fantasy that we are our own highest power, the concept of God as I understand Him becomes feasible.
