Acceptance

I have been thinking about acceptance recently and how common it is for people to resist accepting things. If you can take steps to change whatever it is, then clearly acceptance is not needed. But if it's something you can't control, then acceptance is the only option. If you do not come to acceptance about the uncontrollable, you will drive yourself crazy and waste precious moments of your life.
A few things that I have to accept and can't change: my sex/love addiction, my food addiction, that my father is an emotionally unavailable alcoholic, my all/nothing thinking, my mental health diagnoses, and my general body shape, to name a few.
I hate having sex/love addiction, I wish that I could just engage in healthy relationships like "normal" people. However, I do have it and I always will. The only option I have is to accept it and learn to deal/live with it. One day at a time.
