We need to pay attention to such feelings, for they are often signals that we are acting contrary to our Higher Power's will for us. That queasiness is a warning that, if we continue in this direction, ahead lie many sleepless nights. When we are going against God's will, we get that old uncomfortable feeling in our gut. But rather than look for "signs" from our Higher Power, we begin to rely more on our intuition, trusting our feelings about what will make us comfortable.Īfter staying clean a few years, what we do seem to know is when we are acting against God's will for us. We still practice the Eleventh Step faithfully. Knowledge of our Higher Power's will becomes less a "knowing" thing and more a "feeling" thing.

The longer we stay clean, the less surely we "know" what our Higher Power's will for us is-and the less it matters.
