AA Thought for the Day
October 25, 2007
Surrender
When alcohol influenced every facet of my life,
when bottles became the symbol
of all my self-indulgence and permissiveness,
when I came to realize that, by myself, I could do nothing
to overcome the power of alcohol,
I realized I had no recourse except surrender.
In surrender I found victory -- victory over my self-indulgence,
victory over my stubborn resistance to life as it was given to me.
When I stopped fighting anybody or anything,
I started on the path to sobriety, serenity and peace.
Thought to Ponder....
We surrender to win.
