i post this all the time
but this is where i start over:
#1 We admitted we were powerless over alcohol--that our lives had become unmanageable.
#2 Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
#3 Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
