02-03 Acceptance

Since there isn't much in the way of AA out here in TMON...good ol' Higher Power provided me a long distance sponsor. It is wonderful to have her.

Anyway....wanted to share something I was reminded of today......
It's from Page 449 (first 3 editions, pg. 417 in the 4th edition) of The Big Book as it is widely known:

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation -- some fact of my life -- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.
