the 3 A's


Awareness Acceptance Action right? I picked these out of my box this morning. Since then I have been more aware of what I have to deal w what is in front of me. Acceptance is a real big issue for me. I read in the AA big book that acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. Or issues. Now I am taking action on those things I am aware of & accept the things I cannot change. I just wanted to share a few thoughts today.

Great topic Kathleen Acceptance takes some time for me to attain however, it is sure worth It.

Prior to program, i jumped from awareness to action and need I say more, it did not work. That was simply because I had not really accepted my powerlessness or  the truth of the situation

Thanks for this topic today! Exactly what I needed to hear. Sitting with an awareness working on acceptance right now. Thank goodness I held off on the action while waiting on the acceptance.

Love the three A(s) and can also attest to 2 of the 3 did not work well in my life. I'm very distracted with my mom right now so am just working on breathing, praying and staying present...Thanks for the topic.

I love the three A's...doing the work around these helped me get healthy and today helps me practice these principles in all my affairs.

The 4th A -- anger -- prevented all of the above. For me, the secret sauce, was acceptance. I immerse myself in acceptance -- and everything is great.
