"Acceptance" is pushed pretty hard at 12 Steppers, and it's been difficult. I'm probably a 99th percentile AA in the category of either doing it the hard way, or just not doing it at all and making it work regardless.
(yeah, square peg thing again)
There is a scene in an obscure movie called "King of the Ants" were the protagonist is tortured horrifically to either induce him to reveal a secret, or to cause sufficient brain damage he will no longer know the secret.
At some point during his torture, he starts cooperating with his torturers and prepares himself for another session of graphic violence.
I've considered that scene a metaphor for my journey in sobriety . . .
(kids, don't try this at home)
