We admitted we couldn't lick alcohol
with our own remaining resources,
and so we accepted the further fact
that dependence upon a Higher Power
(if only our AA group)
could do this hitherto impossible job.
The moment we were able to accept these facts fully,
our release from the alcohol compulsion had begun.
We neither ran nor fought. But accept we did.
And then we began to live.
My serenity is directly proportional
to my level of acceptance.
A A = Acknowledge Acceptance.
