Remember Mindfulness – relax your body

Step One

Acceptance is an attitude of mind and without it, we
cannot find true serenity. Reinhold Niebuhr’s
Serenity Prayer has helped many people find inner
peace. Life can seem at times unbearably stressful
and unmanageable. Acceptance of Step One –
taking things exactly as they are – can be the key
that unlocks the door to lasting change and
contentment. Do I fully admit that my life has
become unmanageable?

Life is difficult, it always will be. How we deal with
life’s problems defines us. In the case of addiction,
the problem lies within us, not in the bottle or the
pill. It is a tragic fact that many addicted people go
to an early grave because they have not faced the
problem of themselves. They are stuck in denial and
unable to be honest with themselves. Acceptance
and honesty must go together, otherwise the
foundations of recovery will crumble. We are
dealing with a disease that brooks no compromises
and acceptance is where we must begin. May I fully
embrace the process of acceptance because it is the
key to a way of seeing that will bring me a new
freedom.
