Surrender and Commitment

Step 1 is the identification and acceptance of my problem (I’m powerless). Step 2 is the identification and acceptance of my solution (a power greater than myself). In Step 3 I make a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of my Higher Power.

During my recovery I have come to understand that this surrender also means that I am making a commitment: a commitment to put the solution into action. In other words I am making a commitment to be thorough; a commitment to be searching and fearless. I am making a commitment to go to any length and a commitment to practice these principles in all my affairs.

The everyday meaning of offering my will and my life to the care of God can be summarized as commitment.
