We know that in order to get sober, we must accept that we are powerless over drugs and/or alcohol.  But even during sobriety, accepting things we do not have control over - which turns out is all people, places and things - is critical to maintaining recovery.

In this show we'll talk all about Acceptance:  why it is important, how it can be elusive, what gets in the way of acceptance, what is means to us, tools we use to find acceptance, how we know when we're not accepting something and what we do to get it back.
