I think for a long time in AA, I thought this statement meant I just had to accept what happened to me and in my life.

In the last few years I have come to believe this is not true and that this is more about attitude than it is about action.

If I am not happy with something, I can voice my concerns but in a non abusive way and without resentment, using a quite voice and then letting the out come go.

In someways it is harder for me to do this than just accept what happens because then it becomes obvious my communication skills are pretty crap and that I am a people pleaser, because I don't want to complain. I want everyone to like me!
