"How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years?" It took me almost 20 years to have the  1  to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first   2  drinking, the whole family was on  3  and needles every time he got into a   4  that, in the past, would have   5  him drinking again. For a few years we were   6  to bring it up   7  that the drinking would begin again.

"I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day." That was Dad's  8  to my 18-year-old unasked question. "The words were a constant (经常的)  9  to me that things were  10  so hard that I could not deal with them," Dad said. Then he   11  the poem with me. The poem's   12  , yet profound(深刻的)words immediately became   13  of my daily routine(日常事务) as well.

About a month after this talk with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one   14  for each day of the year.

I   16  opened the book to November 10 to see   17  words of wisdom this book had in store for me. The moment I glanced at the page, tears of  18  and appreciation  19  down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had   20  my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity (平静) 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.
