"Put as much energy into letting go as you have into trying to control. You'll get much better results." - Melody Beattie
I wish I had read this quote 20 years ago..... I could have spared myself so many problems! With a new year almost ready to begin, I have looked back at this last year and I can see the growth in myself. I know it's not possible to change the past, not sure I would if I could. With each mistake I make, I learn something new. I am happy with the direction my life has taken and it's my goal to keep growing and learning, ODAT......
I wish each of you a wonderful Christmas and may the new year bring you peace and happiness.
Peace on the journey..... ~SG~

The concept of powerless was beyond my perception and I couldn't see through my blanket of denial until I heard someone say, "If you have to control it, it is already out of control!"
Control was such a big part of my life. I tried to control my environment to keep myself safe. Needless to say it was an illusion, and I got hurt anyway, often hoisted by my own actions and thinking.

If we put half as much energy into our recovery as we did in our using, people, places and things, we will do well on the recover road.
Again, i am reminded, Let it begin with me.
