“And acceptance is the answer to all my
problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person,
place, thing, or situation – some fact of my life unacceptable to me,
and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or
situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I
could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life
completely on life’s terms, I could not be happy. I need to concentrate
not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs
to be changed in me and in my attitudes.”
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, pg. 417
