From "A Prayer for All Seasons:"
"The power of [The Serenity
Prayer] is overwhelming in that its simple beauty parallels the A.A.
Fellowship. There are times when I get stuck while reciting it, but if I
examine the section which is troubling me, I find the answer to my problem . . . By
accepting life as it is, I gain serenity. By taking action, I gain courage
and I thank God for the ability to distinguish between those situations I
can work on, and those I must turn over. All that I have now is a gift
from God: my life, my usefulness, my contentment, and this
program.
Alcoholics Anonymous IS
the easier, softer way."
