Dr. Norris Von Curl, II, MD

Acceptance is the act of understanding and realizing the reality of your situation. Realizing that your addiction got out of control, that you need to work on your sobriety, or that you want to stay sober are all ways to accept what’s happening in your life presently.

Ultimately, denying an addiction is what allows a person to reach the depths of what substance abuse can lead to. However, when we stop resisting the reality of our situation we work with it and through it.

Sometimes reality is a reminder of our powerlessness. And acceptance is understanding each moment simply as it already exists, instead of judging each situation as good or bad. It just is. And our anxiety will not change anything. Once we are in that mind frame we can keep our powerlessness from overwhelming us and trust in the journey we are on.
