My thought for today is Acceptance. The clear seeing of reality as it is and the willingness to stop fighting what is true. To quote one of our co-founders, until I accepted my devastating weakness (my powerlessness over alcohol and over people places and things) and all its consequences (all the unmanageability in my life), I could not make any progress in recovery. There are many things over which I have no control and until I accept that I cannot change that person, place, or thing, I will be unable to move forward at all. Denial often blocks our path to freedom; acceptance opens the way to willingness and change.
