Rescued by surrenduring
( Step 3 )
The great mystery is: "Why do some of us die alcoholic deaths,
fighting to preserve the 'independence' of our ego, while others seem
to sober up effortlessly in A.A.?" Help from a Higher Power, the gift of
sobriety, came to me when an otherwise unexplained desire to stop willingness to accept the suggestions of
the men and women of A.A. I had to surrender , for only by reaching
out to God and my fellows could I be rescued.
