Living life on life's terms. Wow! Some days that's a tough one. Human nature of the female kind wants me to able to "fix" everything for everyone. Learning that I can't has been one of the biggest obstacles I'm having to overcome. Some days all I can do is ask God for help. Not "help me do this, that or the other" JUST 3 words, "help me, today". And when I retire at night without having had a drink and all I've got is "thank you", well that's enough too. So I wasn't able to get thru to someone, so what! The world won't end because of it. As long as I am grateful for the gift sobriety and I continue to work the Steps of AA, everything else will fall into place. Everything is just as it's supposed to be at this moment........
Thanks for letting me share.

"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..."

Life happens sometimes. And the miracle of it all is still that I don't drink, no matter what happens. Early in recovery I learned that nothing was such a big deal I couldn't get through it.And I found that when I let go God could work the miracle easier.

If I can't accept it, I need to change it....
But if I can't change it, I better accept it.
