No person likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could drink like other people. The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.\r\n \r\nWe learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in recovery. The delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be smashed.\r\n \r\nHow does this statement relate to surrender?\r\n \r\nTo the new person listening, what would you say to this person listening right now about the importance of surrender in your program when you were new and now.\r\n ","author_name":"Recovered Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/recoveredcast.com","html":"
