Changing Our Whole Life

In Step Twelve we say practice these principles in all our affairs. When we walk, we put one foot in front of the other out of habit. We think about each step, but we would go crazy if we brought these actions under voluntary control. During active addiction, we often drink or use chemicals out of habit. We deceive ourselves in thinking these are voluntary acts. It is only when we realize that we have totally lost control, and turn our lives over to a Higher Power, that we can replace a defective control system with one that works. We should look for a Higher Power to help us.
