I am not and never have been an alcoholic, but I know a fair about about AA, just from knowing people struggling with it and watching a lot of TV. I think they are right on the money with their Serenity Prayer. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
I try and apply that to my life and I thank my parents for teaching me, even before I learned the prayer. (and bear in mind that I'm a Christian Agnostic - now try and figure out what than means, LOL)
I live in the Northern KY area, just south of Cincinnati, OH. If you look at a map, find the point where Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky come to a point. During the winter, when the trees a leafless, we can see the Ohio River and into Ohio from our back yard. We've been to see my Pulmonologist in two different offices, one is about 3.5 mi from us and the other about 6 mi. Believe it or not, being close to St. E was one of the big things that we looked at when deciding where to live when I retired. And boy am I glad we did.
(P.S. minor detail, I'm a steel gentleman 
)
