AA Thought for the Day

Surrender

What I had to do was stand on the edge of the unknown,
have faith in the Steps and my teachers in the meetings,
and let go -- step with both feet
into this terrifying new realm of surrender,
and trust that a power greater than myself,
which I was only coming to understand,
would carry me.
If I held back, trying to keep one foot in the old realm,
I'd fall out of the program.
I had to abandon myself absolutely
to the principles of the new dimension.
