Sunday Chip---Defiance/Acceptance

Acceptance has always been difficult for me, admitting I am
wrong doesn't come easy either. I know I have to take these
steps in order to grow in recovery and have serenity in my life.
Looking at all of this seems to be an over whelming issue, but
the good thing is, I only have to make it O.D.A.T.

I am in fact on the defiant side of this chip today.....
But if I work at it, I can accept the fact that I need to change.

Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

I can't rememebr when I was last defiant. I have mellowed out. I accept that my spouse is not ready to stop drinking. I accept that I can't make him even want to stop. So i make the best of every day and try to enjoy my life in spite of the booze.

Today count me accepting.

I find it much easier to find acceptance, when I live in the moment, accept what is and know that it is subject to change. This too shall pass, whether it is postive or negative. I don't have to like it in order to accept. That was a HUGE lesson for me.
