Step Five
(From Sobriety Gazette)
If the First Step is a measure of despair, the Second is a
measure of our hope. The First Step is the admission
and acceptance of our defeat—total, absolute de-feat.
With all our re-sources, we can’t stay sober; with the
best intentions and with the utmost determination, we
still find our lives crashing down around our heads.
Indeed, we are powerless over alcohol, and our lives
are un-manageable.
But if we are powerless over alcohol, then who or what
will keep us sober? And if we cannot manage our own
lives, then who or what will guide us, help us return to
some sort of rational existence?
In answer to both questions, the Second Step says, a
power
greater than our-selves can restore us to sanity.
With that single, simple statement, the Second Step
lays the spiritual cornerstone of AA: If we are to
recover from the physical, mental, and spiritual disease
called alcoholism, we must come to believe in and rely
on a force outside ourselves.
That is not easy for most of us to do, and for many it
takes time. Fortunately, the
Step is very careful to use wording “Came to believe.”
Some of us come to believe almost instantly; others
take weeks or months; still others take years. There is
no set timetable, and there is no reason to feel guilt
over inability to accept the Second Step immediately,
with all its ramifications. On the other hand, though, if
we do not work toward hope it goes away, we cut the
spiritual heart out of the program.
For many, it’s pure ego, pride and selfishness. Some
would rather lose plausibility than to lose face. Never
“appearing to be wrong or found to be wrong,” is the
equivalent of “always being right.” Never being wrong
gives them power and moral superiority, or at least the
illusion of it! I have actually found out in dealing with
people that some care more about themselves than
about their own spouses, family, children, friends,
country and
God! I have seen atrocities committed by people who
would rather appear right (in their own eyes) than to
publicly admit they have been wrong. There are
people, who have chosen in their inner souls, way
before anything ever happened, that they would
“never” be found wrong! So, they spend the rest of
their lives trying to prove they are right!
