AA and Stoicism
From a plaque on Dr. Bob's desk.
- "Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, insatiable or sore, to wonder at nothing that is done to me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, it is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my father in secret and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness, when all about is seeming trouble."

AA and Stoicism
Bill W.
"No matter how unreasonable others may seem, I am responsible for not reacting negatively. Regardless of what is happening around me, I will always have the prerogative and the responsibility of choosing what happens to me. I am the creator of my own reality." It sounds pretty stoic to me.
