Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgment of the facts of a situation, then deciding what you're going to do about it.

Have a great Sunday.

Even if we drank yesterday, we can plan not to drink today. We may drink tomorrow, who knows whether we'll even be alive then? But for this 24 hours, we decide not to drink. No matter what the temptation or provocation, we determine to go to any extremes necessary to avoid a drink today.
