Acceptance Is the Answer

Resistance will not move us forward, nor will it eliminate the undesirable. But even our resistance may need to be accepted. Even resistance yields to and is changed by acceptance.

Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever; it is for the present moment.

Acceptance is the magic that makes our present circumstances good. It brings peace and contentment and opens the door to growth, change, and moving forward.

It shines the light of positive energy on all that we have and are. Within the framework of acceptance, we figure out what we need to do to take care of ourselves.

Acceptance empowers the positive and tells G-d we have surrendered to the Plan. We have mastered today's lesson, and are ready to move on.

Accepting GYE's Help

By olamhabanik

This is my first time trying to "get clean". I was in denial for many years, thinking that this "hobby" was no big deal, and even if it was a real problem, I felt it was impossible to overcome. 

 I was referred to this site by a close friend, and after reading through the many posts I began to come to the realization that if all these members can do it, then I can, too.

Submit your testimonial.

As Dennis Prager explains, we often focus on the missing tile(s) in our lives, which robs us of happiness. In five minutes, learn how to fix your focus.

But for the Grace of G-d

AA Grapevine, Feb. 1993

"I'm still mystified by how I got sober, and the only answer that makes sense is that I stopped drinking (acting out) through the Grace of G-d. I was thinking about the difference between those of us who get sober and those who are still drinking, and I believe the difference is that we have accepted the grace that was offered. Every day, my Higher Power gives me the Grace to be sober, and every day I make the choice not to drink and to accept the Grace."
