The programme suggests:
Accept people as they are.
Not 'refuse to accept the unacceptable'.
Sometimes a person is on a 'journey', and the symptoms are very disagreeable.
My job is to love them anyway.
I might not stay in the same room or house.
I might have a tiny little break.
But it helps no one to stand there like a gorgon, crying:
'In Al-Anon, I have learned not to accept the unacceptable!'
And then pointing, with eyebrows arched, at the miscreant.
So, today, I'm going to do some accepting.
