Surrender is versatile when it comes to the disease of addiction and physical fitness. In early recovery I found that in order to succeed I must surrender to a power greater than myself. It took many trials and tribulations for me to understand that to succeed I must surrender. Early on I did not understand this, because I had always been taught never to surrender. This became a new found freedom once I actually did, and I continue to do so every day now.
I have found the same experience in health and fitness. The two go hand in hand and in early recovery. Nurturing the mind, body, and soul are essential for happiness and freedom. I found early on, that in order to be happy with myself I needed a release. I found that in physical fitness. I also found that if I don't surrender and train with the mindset of remaining teachable, I cannot make the gains I may want in the gym. The same goes for my recovery. If I dont surrender and remain teachable, I will become stagnant in my recovery and I will take steps backwards instead of forwards.
Without healthy living and constant step work, I started to suffer. Today I have learned a balance and have found a new freedom and happiness. Without surrender none of this is possible.
