Accept Reality
Above all, we reject fantasizing and accept reality. . .
I lived in a dream world. A.A. led me gently from this
fantasizing to embrace reality with open arms. And
I found it beautiful! For, at last, I was at peace with
myself. And with others. And with God.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (To Handle Sobriety) p. 559
Thought to Ponder . . .
Acceptance is the first step towards change.
