"We are powerless over alcohol and our lives have become unmanageable"
I must surrender to step 1 each and every day. Alcohol is such a bigger stronger (evil) foe than I - I am dwarfed by it - I can not fight it - I have to surrender absolutely. I can not harbor any resistance (ie I might be able to drink normally again). I must "Surrender to Win". There is freedom in Surrender. I use this surrender in my morning mediation when I establish contact with my higher power. This surrender comes first - then I ask to be "relieved of the bondage of self " (Step 3 prayer). If I do this my day goes nicely - sometimes I have to repeat the process when life throws a curve ball. If I do my serenity returns. If I don't .... you know the story. I'm interested to hear others experience with "Surrender". Be well, Brent |
