Accept The Things I Cannot Change
I was thinking about the part of the serenity prayer that says "grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change".
Now, I'm not going to try and fool you into thinking that I go to NA/AA meetings all the time by talking the talk.
But, I do want to point out that there are a lot of things that I took away from my time in NA/AA that I find useful in my everyday life.
One of the things that I feel that I've struggled with has been the whole accepting the things I cannot change. Rationally I know the importance of this acceptance but I have struggled to take that rational thought and put it to use in my life.
That was until I heard myself telling my son "you do what you can, the very best that you can, and that is all you can do". Boom! How simple. But could it truly be that simple to accept the things I cannot change?
The Suboxone Help Spot Is Back
Just as our server problems had taken this site down for a few days, it took down The Suboxone Help Spot. I just wanted to write a quick little post and let anyone who is interested know that The Suboxone Help Spot is back up and running.
I wanted to apologize to the current members of the site. I realize that a lot of you use the Suboxone Help Spot as your main source of support and without warning it was not available to you.
I am doing everything in my power to make sure that this same scenario never happens again. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
