Wednesday Chip---Defiance/Acceptance

I am disappointed in the outcome of the election yesterday.
Defiance will get me absolutely nowhere, so I will use the
acceptance side of this chip today.

Which side of this chip are you on today? Please share....


Peace on the journey...... SunnyGirl

I guess I was on the defiant side. I set my alarm to get up for my meeting, rolled over and ignored it, but hammering started outside of my window so I got out of bed, called my sponsor and asked her to pick me up on her way to the meeting. The good thing was I was able to go for coffee with the girls afterward for the first time in three weeks. The last two times I went to the meeting but had to come home because I had no energy left.

I was accepting of the fact that I couldn't read the material on the 9th Tradition but wasn't defiant by not sharing my experience, strength and hope. It was a real blessing to make it there. We had two newcomers.

I like how I can take the Traditions written for the groups, and apply them to my daily life. So many people think they are not for them, but they are a great tool for living.

Will second your motion on the outcome of the election. But now that it is done will accept it. I did not say I am happy about it. But will except it. As a rule of thumb I do ok with acceptance. Where I do even a better job is at defiance if you try to push me. Than I get to be a bullhead, pighead, whatever. Maybe some of that is because I have never grown up emotionally and still basically a kid at heart.

Acceptance. I was just thinking. I hate continuing ed stuff. Guess where I doing tomorrow and 3 days next week,,,,, yea, conintuing ed. snif snif. Some take newspapers to them. Some sleep. Some take paper work to do. I usually pay attention at them. Figure as long as I have to be there I might as well learn something. I am not overly smart so can always learn something.
