Explanation:

"Surrendered" in this context means giving oneself over to a feeling or state. "Let myself go" and "abandoned myself" convey a similar idea of relinquishing control and giving in to the experience. "Desired" means to want something, which is different. "Attained" means to achieve or reach, which is also different.
