I like the following as an alternative recovery mantra
[that would be recovery from anything that's not useful]

quoted by Victor Frankel
from an exterminator's ad: NYC in the 30's mebbe?

Calmly bear without ado,
That which fate imposed on you
But to bedbugs don't reseign,
Go for help to Rosenstein

words to live by

and my ditty-in-progress

God,
Grant me the senility,
To forget the things I can't accept,
The Power to ignore the things I can,
And the Wisdom to stop deciding...
