My biggest issue with this, right now at least, is I was brought up in a family of "winners never quit, and quitters never win." So when I heard in the rooms that I have to "surrender to win," I was confused. How can I expect to win this war if I'm too afraid to fight? This was the topic tonight at the meeting I went to, and a lot of the oldbies with 10+ years clean made it abundantly clear that if at the end of the day, if you ask yourself, "Did I do my best?" And if you did, then you're a winner, because you got through TODAY.
