Never Give Up, but Always Surrender

There is a famous line from the movie, "Galaxy Quest"

Never Give Up, Never Surrender

For the sake of my recovery, however, I like to say

Never Give Up, ALWAYS Surrender

By surrendering our WILL to our Higher Power, we relinquish the necessity of Control... which is an illusion anyway.  Sure, we make choices. But, are we ever actually IN CONTROL? No
The decisions of society, people around us, and our circumstances will always be changing...If you still think you are in control... You will be in for a rude awakening: Time and Time again, until you realize that only by Surrendering control will you actually find peace, tranquility, and yes: Serenity.
I have made a recent commitment to stop any Illegal drugs as a part of my sobriety plan.  I'm on day 10 of abstinence from marijuana. I feel more clear-headed, and sober in that regard, than ever before...but the temptation still is present.  The reason for my abstinence: the possibility of Adoption.
I want to have children.  As we go through the process, I have become afraid that CPS may require a drug test before offering kids for adoption.  So, the logical choice is to STOP.  I'm at peace with that.  Although, the fact that marijuana is legal in many states of the U.S., really increases the temptation.  With courage and resolve, I tread forward with my abstinence.  Who knows what the future will hold, but for now I take it One Day At A Time!
