Good morning. My thought for today is Surrender. The AI definition of surrender is to yield, give up, or relinquish possession, control, or power to another authority or force, especially upon demand or under compulsion. For most of my adult life, I had given control of my life over to alcohol and that did not turn out very well. In the end, I had nothing; alcohol had taken it all away. So, I surrendered control of my life again, this time to a Power greater than myself, and vowed that I would try to stay sober, a day at a time. I drank for approximately 29 years, from age 12 to age 41. This month I will celebrate 29 years of sobriety, so I will have been sober for as long as I drank. Interestingly enough, everything that alcohol has taken away from me, sobriety has given back to me.
