The Wisdom to Know the Difference
The Serenity Prayer should not be modified. Some say, God, grant me the serenity to accept that which I cannot change, the courage to change that which I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. But they think, Please make some more things changeable. There are some things we must learn to accept as finalities. The spouse may wish the addict to change, but while recovery is certainly possible, the addict must initiate change. We cannot change anyone else. We are happier if we can direct our limited energies to those things that can be changed.
