In the back of the Big Book in the doctor’s story there is the often quoted paragraph on acceptance. And although it is not part of the central text, it has become for many a bit of sacred writ. Here is a partial quotation:
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.
