The original version covers it completely for me. My mom used to have a cross stitch of the Serenity Prayer right on the wall as you walked into our house when I was growing up. I never really thought about how relevant it might be in my life back then. Neither of my parents were alcoholics either - my mom rarely drank anyting at all - so it wasn't on the wall for that reason. It pretty much applies to life in general very well I think.
