Surrender the shit out of it

Bill W: If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small, we will find at the root of it some unhealthy dependency and its consequent unhealthy demand. Let us, with God’s help, continually surrender these hobbling demands. Then we can be set free to live and love; we may then be able to Twelfth Step ourselves and others into emotional sobriety. Al Kohallek: Contemplative practice is the highest form of prayer; being still and letting our Father do the work. If only a few moments of “dying”, surrender ing our personal “reality”, with its illusion of separation, in order to experience the Indwelling Presence, the Christ within. Letting go of the false self in order to experience the True Self, and to realize our inherent union with our Creator. +++++ Each time one of my defects was transformed into a workable asset, I had to go through the “Dark Night of the Soul” where everything stops working as it was.

It opens, in the first three verses, with the affirmation of faith in God. Always begin

Destruction of self-centeredness

PROBLEM No words can tell of the loneliness and despair I found in that bitter morass of self-pity . The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. Whatever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity ? Selfishness— self -centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self -delusion, self -seeking, and self-pity , we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt. So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves, and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn’t think so. Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness . We must, or i
