At the meeting last night....
Permalink  

At the meeting last night someone quoted the "acceptance" paragraph or something like that from the Big Book (AA) I believe. I really cannot remember for sure, as I was at work and trying to do two things at once . But it was a really cool paragraph. Can someone help me identify where to find it?


 


Thanks you guys,


 Doxie

"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..."


page 429 Big Book

Hopes this helps, the big book is available online.  They don't have as strict of guidelines as Alanon.

the link to the AA Big Book is http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline/en_tableofcnt.cfm


The paragraph on Acceptance is p. 449 (not 429)


Luv, Kis
