Hi Majesty Jo, hope this finds you well. Step 3 is one of the most misunderstood of all. It does not say that we turned our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him. Let me repeat that, it does not tell us to turn our will and lives over. What it says is "WE MADE A DECISION" to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him. We only have to make the decision. After we made the decision we turn our will and lives over by working steps 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; with 10, 11 and 12 being maintenance steps.

I sincerely hope I have made working the third step a little easier for some people.
