Step Three
We thought well before taking this step making sure we were ready; that we
could at last abandon ourselves utterly to Him We found it very desirable to
take this spiritual step with an understanding person, such as our wife, best
friend, or spiritual adviser. But it is better to meet God alone than with one
who might misunderstand. The wording was, of course, quite optional so
long as we expressed the idea, voicing it without reservation.

Thought to Ponder . . .
Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas
and the result was nil until we let go absolutely.
