Insanity, doing the same things over and over again but expecting different results.

If I keep things bottled up they become greater than life. If I share these things with my therapist or someone else, it makes them real and I'm able to look at the reality of the situation and not blow it way out of proportion.

In AA step one was huge for me. It took on so many heads. In admitting I was powerless over alcohol and my life was unmaneagable I in essence was admitting I had no control over several things. Other people, their actions and responses to life. I do have control over who I chose to be around, what I say, how I say it and how I behave. This being so keeps me out of the negative. I am only responsible for my actions. If my actions lead me to hang around people who are wrong for me in my recovery I am going to be in a negative space.
I also continue with meetings. Several in a week. Counseling. Step meetings and I have a sponsor. These are also key "tools" to staying in a positive space in my head.
I hope this helped.

getting drunk makes all your personality times 100
i am dying from drink and its a good feeling .
how do you stop a power like that ?

Jagged, some people die so others can live.

You answered your own question, you don't have power or control over other peoples actions or negativty, what you do have power over is YOUR reaction to them. What I have learned is to pray for good things to happen for them so that I can focus on the positive not the negative. Good luck
