AA Thought for the Day

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.
For instance, we can "accept" failure as a chronic condition,
forever without profit of remedy.
We can "accept" worldly success pridefully,
as something wholly of our own making.
We can also "accept" illness and death as certain evidence
of a hostile and godless universe.
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.
