Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
When someone does something to me that makes me feel angry, insulted or whatever, this is giving this person power over me. When I allow you to make me how I do not to be, is giving you power over me.
For example I do not want to be an angry person anymore, I did enough of that in my cups. So when situations arise that could make me angry I can either allow the other person to have the power over me and get angry or I can accept that it is their issues and not mine.
How I react to life around me is dependent on how much power I give people over me. If I do not allow myself to become angry about some else then I have the power over myself.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

Hope the dog days of summer aren't getting you down!
Think I'll stick to my plan still but I'm definitely remembering this,
Thank you!!
GR8 Yes, I listen to Eckhart Tolle and he says the way we "react" does have a surprising effect on people - especially when we DONT react.
He says when we do react in a negative situation it feeds their EGO...and we think if it is crtizicim for example that we are diminished.
If we don't react...we become stronger and more calm within ourselves...I love this reminder as well...
It's so nice now to be able to step back and look at situations with a calm mind. (Well, I'm working on anxiety still.) I'm taking my power back.
Thanks for sharing!
