We see things not as they are, but as we are.
- Anais Nin
When I am spiritually sick and self-centered it is no surprise that I feel life doesn’t treat me well. Even if I stop drinking I still see life through alcoholic eyes unless I treat the spiritual malady at the heart of my alcoholism. Only then, with the humility and gratitude that comes from the reduction of my self-centeredness. am I able to find freedom and serenity. When I accept myself as I am, I am able to accept life as it is.

Acceptance is the answer to ALL my problems. Not one or two of them. ALL of them. Period.
Now I just have to accept that truism.
