Surrender

Surrender is a very common word and a necessary action in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. This word sounds so absolute and can mean something different to each person who daily attempts, whether successful or not, to let go of the things, thoughts, persons, that ravage their mind and rob them of peace. However, I have found that my experiences coupled with all my character defects makes a full surrender impossible, until I can identify and pull up each root of each defect, one by one. If I am unable to identify the deep roots of whatever requires surrender, how can I truly let go and let God?
