Daily Reflections
ACCEPTANCE
We admitted we couldn't lick alcohol with our own
remaining resources, and so we accepted the further
fact that dependence upon a Higher Power
(if only our A.A. group) could do this hitherto
impossible job. The moment we were able to accept
these facts fully, our release from the alcohol
compulsion had begun.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 109
Freedom came to me only with my acceptance that I
could turn my will and my life over to the care of
my Higher Power. Serenity seeped
into the chaos of my life when I accepted that what
I was going through was life, and that HP would
help me through my difficulties--and much more, as
well. Since then HP has helped me through all of my
difficulties! When I accept situations as they are,
not as I wish them to be, then I can begin to grow
and have serenity and peace of mind.
