I've not heard that phrase before. It's magnificent!
I feel some gratitude that submission has been easier this time (I'm remembering now that it was difficult the first time around). As I've said a number of times, the addict brought me to my knees and since I was there, I decided to pray. A lot.
I wish you desperation! That made me laugh out loud. OMG yes! I went down so hard and so fast this time - I went from the illusion of having my life totally under control to the desperation of absolute insanity. It really is that singular point of desperation where all the extraneous stuff peels away and a choice must be made.
