CONTROL-- There are as many ways to live and grow, as there are people.  Our own ways are the only ways that should matter to us. Wanting to control other people, to make them as we'd have them live, makes the attainment of serenity impossable.  And serenity is the goal we are seeking in this recovery process, today and in this life. We are each powerless over others, which relieves us of a great burden which includes guilty of what we have done it the past.  Controlling our own behavior is a big enough job.  Learning to behave responsibly takes practice.  Most of us in this recovery precess have behaved irresponsibly for much of are lives. Emotional, immaturity is slow to depart, but resonsible actions we take gives us the courage for another--and another.  Our own fulfillment is the by-product of the accumulation of are own responsible actions.  Others actions need not concern us, what a relief!!!!! till next time
