Acceptance

The topic for today’s recovery meeting was “acceptance”.  When I spoke I mentioned the numerous things that I need to accept about myself, if I am to have a peaceful life, things like being an addict, disabled and having a speech impediment.  I spoke of the things I need to avoid doing and the challenges that I face daily.  I also mentioned that “I am a fairly remarkable and unique human being”, which is true but difficult to admit.  The same is also true of all other people, and acceptance of that fact, would be a good thing.
