A is for Acceptance. I had to accept that I was an alcoholic. I had to accept that I needed help. I had to accept that the program would work for me. I had to accept that there was a power greater than me. I had to accept that it was a spiritual program, not a religious one. It was a program that included ALL religious beliefs. Leave no one outside the circle, everyone deserve recovery. It is the God of YOUR understanding. My God may not work for you or I would loan Him to you.
