Another day of recovery begins and we start this day with surrender. 'From that point, each of us is reminded that a day clean is a day won.' (P 86, NA Basic Text)
When I surrender; I win.
Surrender, one of the principle of the first Step. Until I could surrender my disease over to the program, I could not recover.
Until I surrendered to my Higher Power I could not heal. Not only my disease, and all aspects of it, but surrender the self.
The drug is but a symptom of my problem. The problem is me. The solution is to get honest, surrender and accept it for what it is, knowing it is subject to change as I work the Steps to recovery.
It is a daily thing for me. When I forget, I am reminded when my life is unmanageable. Pain is a good barometer. It often makes me grateful because I can feel it.
