The following scriptures may help you in taking step 3. Use these scriptures and questions for medi- tation, study, and writing. Remember to be honest and specific in your writing.
The choice to begin recovery

“I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive” (Alma 7:23).
Step 3 is a choice. Recovery happens by God’s power, but only after you choose to seek His help. Your decision opens the channels for His power to flow into your life. Consider how humility, patience, gentleness, and so on are all choices. The last quality listed in the scripture is gratitude. How does gratitude help you be humble?*
What other qualities did Alma include in this list?*
Which of these qualities do you lack?*
Which ones can you work on today? What can you do now to start?*
