Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood God.
Step Three called us into action, for it was only by action that self-will could be removed. Our inability to surrender had always blocked the effective entry of a Higher Power into our lives.

Step Three asked us to make a decision based upon our acceptance of our addiction and powerlessness that we had identified in Steps One and Two. Before, we alternated between being controlling or controlled.

In either extreme, it was selfishness that ran our lives.
