Acceptance Sobriety involves coping with challenges of reality. Many resorted to chemicals to escape. But reality does not necessarily improve with abstinence. Many of stresses that were there before the chemicals are still there with abstinence. A key word in recovery is acceptance: to accept that we have the disease of addiction and to accept things we cannot change. But it is important not to confuse acceptance with approval. There is nothing wrong with telling God about our displeasure. We may be angry at God when we are in distress, but we turn to Him for security and pray for the serenity to accept the stresses in life.
