There is very little we can control. We can control our diet but can't control if we get sick........my signature says it all and practicing acceptance is hard to do. You may not be an alcoholic but the steps of AA are so good. I used to go to Al-anon and the things I learned in the rooms helped me a great deal to handle my depression and anxiety. I was always a type A personality but I sure am not now...at least I certainly hope not. I am older then you and I have had more time to practice acceptance and that I am not in control of anything. How bad I always wanted to control events and people. I just could not understand why no one would listen to me as I always knew what is best.....Yeah right!!
"I will remind myself.....that I am powerless over anyone else or anything else,that I can live no life but my own. Changing myself for the better is the only way I can find peace and serenity."
