AA Thought for the Day

Acceptance
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 cannot 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, p. 417
