Would not the act of abdicating be one of integrity? Surrender is not always an act of cowardice, it can be a decision of great courage.... With all due respect, where did I indicate that I have abdicated responsibility for my actions? I never used the word, responsible. You did. I only abdicated my choice in this particular matter, the matter of alcohol.
To whom have I abdicated that choice? I cannot tell you because it would be meaningless to you, you are an atheist.
The end result is that I am no longer fighting it. I am about 16 months sober, I am at LEAST as happy, joyous and free as I ever remember being. And it gets better all the time.
Good stuff Daphne...
