ACCEPTANCE:

~

A recovery concept that never loses its power to work miracles is the concept
called acceptance.

It doesn't happen overnight. We often have to work through a mirage of
feelings – sometimes anger, outrage, shame, self-pity, or sadness. But if
acceptance is our goal, we will achieve it.

What is more freeing than to laugh at our weaknesses and to be grateful for
our strengths? To know the entire package called "us". It is worthy of
acceptance and brings healing feelings.

To accept our circumstances is another miraculous cure. For anything to
change, we must first accept ourselves, others, and the circumstances exactly
as they are. Then, we need to take it one step further. We need to become
grateful for ourselves or our circumstances. We add a touch of faith by saying,
"I know this is exactly the way it's supposed to be for the moment."

No matter how complicated we get, the basics never lose their power to restore
us to sanity.
