I will always remember my first meeting. The topic of the meeting was surrender. I remember sharing that I didn’t know how to surrender completely, that I’ve only surrendered a small percentage of myself.
I know that’s why I was unable to stay sober at that time. I was still depending on my own willpower. It wasn’t until I surrendered my drinking and drug problem over to my higher power that I was able to stay sober. Each day I wake up and surrender my will to the God of my understanding and He keeps me sober.
“Stuck in the stage
Of disloyalty
Because I was unable
To give my all the thee
But with your guidance
I will find my way
And the strength
To get through each and every day
For it was you
That put the fight in my soul
And gave me the desire to
Again be whole
Lord, on this day
I surrender to you
Please will you light my path
And show me just what to do”
