Can I begin my recovery without a complete surrender?

Yes. I’ve already began my recovery. I practice principals that often and sometimes still are rather difficult. I take healthy chances. I am changing.
I started doing this early in my recovery and I hadn’t completely surrendered. Have I completely surrendered at this point in time? Perhaps. This is a strange question and I can’t speak in absolute terms concerning ANYTHING.
I have surrendered and I am growing from practicing this program. I’m learning how to deal with life’s challenges much, MUCH better. I value service and I have sacrificed.
The way this question is worded makes me feel like the answer is supposed to be ‘no’. If ‘no’ is the expected answer than I have found a flaw in the program. My personal experience this time around is proof that complete surrender is NOT necessary to begin the process of recovery.
