Acceptance

The topic for today’s recovery meeting was “acceptance”, which has been very important for me.  Historically, I have not done acceptance gracefully.  It took many years for me to accept that my drinking was not normal.  Then when the constant spastic muscles of my disability began, I tried to fight with them, resulting in greater spasticity.  It took me years to realize that my approach did not work.  At this point I simply accept the life I am given, act accordingly  and go on my peaceful way.
