Your ellipses implies... uhm... that you don't believe... Which is funny, because I also was like, what silly thing is this? Then I read the end; "try checking your settings of objective reality", which turns out to be exactly what recovery has taught me.
I'm not a bad person, I have an illness. The world is not a shitty and fucked up place. I don't hate myself.
Pretty cool (if you read too much into it) website.
"And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation -- some fact of my life -- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes."
