March 13

Accepting other people as they are will give us peace.

Trying to live a “normal” life while someone we love is still battling addiction can feel exhausting. It’s hard to focus on work, daily tasks, and the people around us when worry takes over. But finding peace means accepting that we can’t control others—we can’t force a loved one to choose sobriety, and we can’t change their actions.

What we can do is shift our focus to our own thoughts and choices. Believing that everyone has their own path and a Higher Power looking out for them can bring relief. And as we learn to accept our loved ones as they are, we also learn to embrace others in the same way. That’s a powerful gift.

Today’s Affirmation:

I will practice acceptance every time I feel agitated with someone today. I know acceptance can become a healthy habit with enough practice.

A Life of My Own

Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.

Karen Casey is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. She has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her recovery from addiction started in Twelve-Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
