“when you surrender to a higher power... what it means is I'm going to try and do the best I can, make the best decision I can, live the best way I can. But I realize that I can't control everything, including my own behavior all the time. So I'm going to do the best I can, and then I'm just going to give it over and hope that God, trust that God will help me.”
