It is always worthwhile to consider
how grossly that good word acceptance can be misused.
It can be warped to justify nearly every brand
of weakness, nonsense and folly. . .
With these twistings of acceptance,
we AAs have had vast experience.
Hence we constantly try to remind ourselves
that these perversions of acceptance
are just gimmicks for excuse-making:
a losing game at which we are, or at least have been,
the world's champions.
Bill W., March 1962.
While it isn't always easy, if I keep it simple, it works.
