Surrender

On the face of it,

surrendering certainly does not seem like winning.

But it is in AA

Only after we have come to the end of our rope,

hit a stone wall in some aspect of our lives

beyond which we can go no further;

only when we hit "bottom" in despair and surrender,

can we accomplish sobriety which we could

never accomplish before.

We must, and we do, surrender in order to win.

c. 1955 AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, 2nd Edition, pp. 341-2

Thought to Consider . . .

Life didn't end when I got sober -- it started.
