Good Morning friends. I just wanted to share something I learned this morning or I shouls say put away I totally understand. "We admitted we were powerless" In short accepting the we cannot conrol other people behavior is a huge step. Every indivdual is on thier own journey. Accepting our powerlessness isnt a hopeless feeling at all, once we understand it. It offers us profound relief from the burden of responsibility for another persons life. " Being in charge of only me today makes my day seems so much easier" For me thats a pretty powerful feeling like what I had to do, I had to to do all that to do this. BE WELL

Thanks! Have a great day : )
I agree gjm. I read Today\'s Gift and it really gave me a good start to the day. I have such trouble knowing I can\'t control other\'s actions and words. I always think that my way is the right way. I am finally accepting that that is not the case. I am learning sooo much about acceptance in the NA/AA mtgs. I can only control my life. That is a difficult enough job. Why should I put time and energy into something I can\'t do anything about? I should put the time and energy into my own life, my own thinking, my own actions, my own words.It\'s so true to say that other people\'s lives are not my responsibility. Take care!
Powerlessness..oh yeah...relief from the burden of responsilbilty..yeah. When I broke mt leg 2 yrs ago, I was powerless, too. Then I got crutches. My leg didn\'t have to be responsible any more...what a relief! Yeah... thats powerful, gjm. One thing you ARE right about is that You are in charge of YOU. Why do you drink? What is your plan in the future in regards to drinking? Are you going to drink or not? Oh, the questions! Love, triss
