Acceptance

A friend of mine has a certain addiction [not alcohol] and goes to "Anonymous" meetings. He once read me this passage from his "stay sober bible".

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation- some fact of my life- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism I could not stay sober, unless I accept life completely on life terms I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

Sweetest friends!! I, Baruch Hashem, am addicted to nothing [except for certain sfarim. Like, a Sfas Emes Junkie. "My name is Ally and I am a Sfas-Emes-aholic."] but I believe that internalizing this message would bring a personal geula to me and to us all.

What is my line?

"Try it!:)"
