This is from page 25 of The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. I arbitrarily chose a page for my daily reading and this is where I ended up today.
There is a solution. Almost none of us liked the self- searching, the leveling of our pride, the confession of shortcomings which the process requires for its successful consummation. But we saw that it really worked in others, and we had come to believe in the hopelessness and futility of life as we had been living it. When, therefore, we were approached by those in whom the problem had been solved, there was nothing left for us but to pick up the simple kit of spiritual tools laid at out feet. We have found much of heaven and we have been rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence of which we had not even dreamed.
The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences* which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows and toward God's universe. The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves.
Rachel, something I definately needed to hear today, thanks!
Do what we can't do ourselves.....how amazing it is that we don't have to drive the bus anymore.
Thank you Rachel, wonderful reading this morning....

Surrender.
Like when you are struggling against the current...drowning, and so you relax, and breath deep, fill your lungs with air so you float up. Before you know it, the current has pushed you out the other side into an eddy. Simple, not easy!
Thank you Rachel.
