What Is Sanity?

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. ~ Step 2

What does it mean,
being restored to sanity?
Compos mentos
as opposed to not legally
responsible,
non compos mentos…
the answer in a courtroom.
Sanity is having reasonable
understanding; a sound mind;
possessing mental faculties
capable of distinguishing
right from wrong…
How does that compare
to Step Three’s sanity?
How close to non compos mentos
is being all into our addiction?
With Paul we could have said,
 For the good that I would I do not:
but the evil which I would not, that I do.
After  we turn our lives and wills
over to God as we understand God,
then we have the ability to think
and behave in a normal
and rational manner;
sound mental health.
Sanity is no longer having
an attitude approaching veneration
for food or another substance or compulsion
and establishing a relation
of veneration for the God of our Understanding.
