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 every brand of weakness,
nonsense, and folly.
For instance, we can "accept" failure as a chronic condition,
forever without profit or remedy. . .
We can also "accept" illness and death as certain evidence
of a hostile and godless universe.
With these twistings of acceptance,
we AA's 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.
