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.
Elizabeth Smith takes a moment to reflect on the power of gratitude in this special Thanksgiving episode. She opens up about the crucial role her friends and family have played in her journey towards sobriety. With a heartfelt reading from the Big Book on acceptance, Elizabeth underscores how embracing acceptance has been pivotal in her recovery from alcoholism and managing bipolar disorder.
She shares personal anecdotes about her sponsors, Sue and Vicki, who have been pillars of support, and discusses the often challenging dynamics with her brother, sister, and children, highlighting the deep love she holds for them despite the ups and downs. Elizabeth also touches on codependency in relationships and how positive connections have been a cornerstone in her recovery.
Wrapping up with a sincere thank you to her friends who keep her grounded, Elizabeth encourages everyone to cherish their loved ones this Thanksgiving. This episode is a touching reminder of how gratitude and supportive relationships can be transformative on the path to recovery.
