Someone who has surrendered and someone who is compliant look the same.
Both are 'doing the work' in AA.
The compliant one is doing it because he thinks it's a good idea. As soon as he no longer thinks it's a good idea, he'll stop doing it, because he's still doing what he thinks is best.
The surrendered one is doing it because he no longer trusts himself but he trusts God and others and they say it's a good idea.
