…For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen. ~ Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions (p. 99). AA World Services, Inc. Kindle Edition.

Surrender is the path  to Victory, to Recovery,
to being one with the Universe. The answer is
to put off your old self, which is being corrupted
by its deceitful desires, by life before surrender,
by making our drug of choice…sugar for me…
in the place of ultimate authority, the power
to which you habitually turn when life’s stress dominate,
but there is a solution, easy Steps, surrender to Joy,
undeserved love in which we can dwell through all storms.
