If I do not surrender my self will and try to do things my way then I am acheiving little to nothing. If I cling on to old and FAILING habits of trying to do things my way, then why do AA?
Without the Third Step AA would not exist. There's a lot of worm food in the ground from those who clung on to old ideas. When I am ruled by fear and resentment, I am trying to handle things my way. I stop turning them over, I shut God out, and I am left alone. Alone in my own selfishness, self-pity, anger, and misery. I no longer move forward. I become weak to where I would eventually wither and die.
Surrender is not a sign of weakness, but a example of strength and courage.
