I wish I had more time to reply and to read all of the replies to this, there have been a lot of good ones Tay, let me just share this and wish you all a great weekend.

Surrender for me today.

When I was near the end of my drinking, I wanted to stop but could not, I was in a battle and I was on the losing side.

When in a battle one has 2 choices, keep fighting until death, or surrender to the winning side and become a winner!

Well I did not want to die so I surrendered to the winning side, I admitted that I was powerless over alcohol and as long as I kept putting it in me I was going to wind up on the losing side of the battle every time.

Well when I surrendered, I turned my drinking over to a Power greater then myself, I was able to find a Power Greater then me thanks to AA. I went over to the winning side. I listened to the suggestions of those sober AA's who had found sobriety, I followed thier path thouroughly.
