The No Limits Group of Narcotics Anonymous Ad Hoc Literature GroupThe Spiritual Principle of Surrender (draft to be worked in a loving group conscience)            We experience our first taste of surrender when we walk into a meeting of Narcotics Anonymous for the first time.  No matter how sick, desperate, or afraid, we managed to get to the one place that can save our lives.  When we say we’re an ‘addict’, our life long struggle with trying to find new ways and means to fit in and feel normal is over! Our will could run no more.  We’ve finally admitted that we need help.   Surrender is seeking help from something other than our self.  Although our level of  surrender deepens as we continue to work the steps, we must make this initial surrender if we are to find a new way of life.          The more we work the 12-steps with a Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, the more our surrender grows.  We eventually learn to surrender daily.  Some addicts read the Just For Today in the morning to tap into their own higher power.  Some call other members and talk about where they are in their recovery process.  Others pray to ask for help from their higher power and meditate to listen to the answers.  No matter what we are doing for our recovery, each time we make an effort to get better we turn our will and life  over to the care of something greater than ourselves.            Over time, we come to understand that surrender is an action principle that allows us to be happy at any given moment.  No matter how we’re feeling, we can use the tools of recovery to take us to a better place.  Simply asking is not enough.  We learn that if we want to feel good, we do the things that make us feel good.    Getting involved in service is another way we can surrender our will and life and experience the freedom of giving away what was so freely given.  We make the decision to surrender so we too can loose the desire to use and find a new way of life.  Our way of doing things failed miserably.  We tried time and time again to use successfully yet the end result was always the same; jails, institutions, and death.  It’s time to tap into a guaranteed solution to get relief from a potentially deadly problem.  We’ve heard it said time and time again in meetings yet it still holds just as much importance as the first time we heard it; “We must surrender to win!”

Wowwwwwww......Just the word Surrender fills my heart up with my love, wow just reading that article made me think of my gift of desperation, and I think my gift of my strong desperation to find a way out of my Hell that I lived in, I feel so stongly about the blessing of just being able to surrrender and just knowing and trusting in The god of my understanding, and just knowing that if I will allow the god of my understanding into my life, he will give my heart everything it truly desires, and what my heart desires the most is nothing self will has only dreamed of, or could never could of imagined.....So yes just let go and just let your hp guide you through your life....
