surrender to the thing we cannot change through our own power is a way to get on with our lives.
we seek a high power of our own understanding and that becomes our ulimate guide and source of strength.
our submission is voluntary and grants immediate relief.
surrender is positive for us.....
because we have hope and many others to turn to whatever our dilemma.
we donot barter good treatment for non- using..
surrender ia a personal event..
it is the beginning of personal responsibility..
we have to surrender or it won't work..
the principle of surrender can guide us , when we don't know what to do.
without surrender, to our powerlessness, we are capapulted back into our disease.
we need peace, it can come almost instantly if we can apply.
ACCEPTANCE/ SURRENDER.......................

When I think of surrender, I don't think of it as giving up, but reaching out and asking for help from our Higher Power. For me, when I surrender, I am empowered to do what I need to do for myself. I believe it is in the Bible, "My God take all of me." I think it means all aspects of my life, not just my alcoholism.
