Acceptance Is Not Giving Up
Last week, I received a message through my Buzzsprout page that stopped me in my tracks.

I’ve had Lyme Disease for almost two weeks. You better believe I’m going to slather bug spray on me next time I go to the garden. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. #sobersky

I really don’t like Bill’s argument for God in “We Agnostics.” Lots of straw men. He would have been better sticking with the “contempt prior to investigation” tact. #sobersky

@jeffpearlman.bsky.social I love your TikTok and the OC political account. I loved this week’s Press Box Chronicles on Mark “The Bird” Fidrych. It was tough to hear how he passed. I have another suggestion. Ted Williams. 1/11

@jeffpearlman.bsky.social I’d love to see a Press Box Chronicles on Dale Murphy, my hero of the 80’s Superstation. An all around stud, until one day, all his tools disappeared. 1

Im at The Big E. One of the biggest fall festivals in the US. Inside one of the buildings is an inside, permanent bar. I felt so sad and down seeing that people need to sit at a bar at a festival. But grateful I’m not one of those poor souls anymore. #sobersky

Someone, came into a meeting on Monday wearing this shirt. Yesterday, did those beautiful little children, at that Catholic school have hearts without God? Did the parents who sent their children to a Catholic school have a home without disappoint? Was the school without prayer? #sobersky

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social I’m on Chapter 4 of How To Lose Your Mother. Our circumstance of upbringing are different, but the mental trauma is the same. I have the audio book and hearing you read it conveys such raw emotion. You need to give yourself more credit. You are a survivor.

I’m sorry to hear about the passing of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. Little known fact, Irsay purchased the AA manuscript for $2.4 Million. AA could not accept it because of the value of the gift. #sobersky

Why is acceptance so hard in recovery and why do I now think acceptance is a way to look at things the way things are and now how I want them to be and to be present in the moment? #sobersky
