“SURRENDER! SURRENDER! SURRENDER! Acceptance of the things we cannot change is the simple definition of the above spiritual call to action, echoing throughout the twelve steps of recovery. Be aware that there is a price to be paid. That price is the giving up of our self-will. The conscious giving up of personal control of one’s life is only possible if there is a fundamental belief and trust in a God personally meaningful to us. Only at this point can we honestly claim to know the meaning of true humility.”
