5 stages of grief; oh yeah I forgot depression.......anger,denial,bargaining,acceptanc e....until we finally get to and stay in acceptance and I am finally there by the grace of God. Really....if I hadn't gone to Alanon or come here to Sober Recovery I could still be stuck in the yuck......sick in the ick......Acceptance.......the answer to everything.......Now I wake up in gratitude....instead of fear or anger.......or depression.......
