Today, on my podcast published internationally (yeah, that’s right!), I talk about the serenity prayer and how when I first started repeating it in early sobriety I had a very shallow understanding of what it was saying. Over time, as I listened to other people in meetings share about how they apply the serenity prayer in their lives, I've learned to pause and make thoughtful decisions about what I can and cannot change.

I share about a tacky glass sculpture that I admired from the view of my toilet in early sobriety yet continued to drink. That sculpture had the serenity prayer on it. Despite reciting it over and over again, I didn't understand that my drinking was something that I could change. I didn't have the courage yet.

I feel very fortunate that I have had the opportunity to work the steps in my sobriety program and been gift with serenity as a result. I've been gifted with courage. And by now applying the serenity prayer in my life every day I have been gifted wisdom. I always thought during my years of active alcoholism that serenity, courage, and even wisdom could be found at the bottom of my box of Vella Chardonnay.
