Thursday October 22, 2026 - Surrender

Good morning. Hanging in there. My thought for today is Surrender. It is defined as to stop resisting, fighting, or trying to control something and to accept a reality, outcome, or authority beyond our control. In a spiritual sense surrender means letting go of our insistence on controlling everything and placing our trust in God or a Higher Power. It doesn't mean becoming passive or abandoning responsibility. It means recognizing the difference between what we can change and what we cannot. In AA, surrender is often the beginning of genuine change. It means recognizing that our own efforts to control our drinking have failed and becoming willing to accept help. Surrender is not necessarily giving up. Sometimes it means giving up the fight that prevents us from moving forward. “Surrender is not the end of the struggle to live. It is the beginning of learning how to live without struggling against everything.”
