Learn to Adapt

We pray for the courage to change the things we can. Change means adaptation, and good sobriety requires the capacity to adapt. Chemical use is often aggravated by rigidity, as when we have the attitude, I am the way I am, and the world should change to suit me. If we do not learn how to adapt, we are certain to become frustrated. We must be flexible and adapt to changes in life. If we remain fixed, we are certain to be disillusioned. As we grow in sobriety, we can minimize the disappointments in life as we improve our ability to adapt.
