I still find surrender to be the most difficult aspect of all the Twelve Step programme. I am a fighter. I take whatever challenges are thrown at me. However, I have to acknowledge that self-will can be very damaging and that I, along with everyone else working a Twelve Step programme, need a Higher Power than self. I have done a huge amount of reading on the subject recently but I still struggle with the concept of surrender. I know that there are a lot of things upon which I depend for help from other professionals – but I don’t surrender myself to them: I still maintain my judgement and caution. Giving myself over entirely to a Higher Power over my will and my life is a huge demand. However, I am sure that I should ask for help only in those areas of my life in which I cannot help myself.
