ROAD RAGE (continued)
With God's help and the Steps, I can be restored to a state of sanity; far from the insanity of road rage. Because that's exactly what road rage, uncontrollable anger, and fits of rage are: they are symptoms of teh disease of addiction. But they are also the dark side of addiction. The insanity part.
So, today when I feel the neurological acceleration of road rage coming on, I say a prayer to my Higher Power, something like, "Please help me Lord, I'm starting to lose it here." And when I do that, and step out on Faith, miracles happen. Because you see there's no way I can be in my H.P. will for me. I'll be in the peace and serenity I deserve. Because I had enough chaos, agony and misery in active addiction. Today, I want peace, serenity and hope. The steps can give me.
My God's will for me is something like working with a newcomer reading the Basic Text or working Steps but most of all being at peace in all aspects of my life. And a great deal of this depends on my acceptance of what's happening to me at any given time.
