Hi Ramblin. I think this is a good idea if it will help.

As for your question about acceptance, to me it's two-fold. One part is that I had to understand alcoholism better to understand why some people need to quit entirely (including me). The second part is that I got to a place where alcohol affected my life so much that to "not accept" it was the same thing as flat out denying it. So, I stopped denying, and acceptance followed that. It wasn't easy, but it did come.
