As AvLady says often it is in part accepting the nature of our disease and figuring out how to live with it without giving up trying. We have talked on here about radical acceptance and total surrender. They can be very powerful concepts paradoxically. There are lots of paradox in life and this is one. By admitting powerlessness I gain much power. Hard to explain but true.
