From the well-loved pages of the Big Book to insightful passages from 'As Bill Sees It' and 'Daily Reflections', each reading offers a fresh perspective on embracing life as it comes. Acceptance is a recurring theme, and it's highlighted beautifully with the quote, 'Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today'. Cindy reads with a calm assurance that makes these profound messages resonate deeply.
She discusses how acceptance isn't about submission but rather acknowledging reality and deciding on your next steps. The episode encourages you to reflect on your attitudes and what needs changing within yourself rather than the world around you.
