You have a choice how to be ill. You can attempt to carry on as though nothing is wrong and end up killing yourself in the process. Or you can be a victim, weeping and wailing “Why me?” at every turn and killing yourself spiritually in the process. Or you can be a Positive Acceptor: recognizing that your Crohn’s is a card you have been dealt in the poker game of life, but one that will not take away your ability to play your hand to the full.
