help with the 3rd step

[igfan]

Hi, I posted this on the "other" site (you know, back before i was banned for "no reason specified", lol - no resentment there), anyways, someone suggested that I post it here since I'm still struggling with this step.

I know there are a lot of different ways to work the steps...when it comes to the third step I always hear "I held hands with my sponsor and we said the 3rd step prayer"....and that's it, they're done with the step. My sponsor gives me "homework", I get like a worksheet with questions, and I'm supposed to write down my answers to these questions. Ex: What does the phrase "God as we understood him" mean? What is your concept of a Higher Power?...things like that. OK, this is where I need help..one of the questions has me stumped. What is a recent example in your life of excercising self-will instead of following what you believe might be God's will? My sponsor gave me an example of where I had been excersing self-will....but I'm still having trouble comprehending "self-will".

I was just wondering if anyone had examples in their life that they could share that might help me?

Thanks
