Someone wrote the following on an email loop. I copy it here with her permission:
A 12-step CD I've been listening to about Step 3 points out that anxiety comes from trying to run the universe. It's true, to my experience. The speaker also points out that 12-step programs are NOT self-help programs but programs of self-abandonment and service. OA doesn't say "manage your life better." It says step AWAY from your life, please. Give up the food. Seek God's help and direction. Abandon your self-determined objective -- only God really truly knows your needs -- and help His kids, and let's just SEE what happens to your life.
