I will be eligable for insurance coverage on May 1st. It is getting
real slow and I barely have enough
to make my hours. This makes me real angry that I am so close and it may not happen. I have to keep turning it over to God to deal with
cuz it is fuel for the fire so to say. Do you have self control or do you have anger? Please let me know! Thanks-----Mistyeve

Having health insurance is an excellent reason to work. I'd enjoy retirement, I am sure, but it woudl tick me off to pay health insurance. Mine woudl be $511 a month. I ahve already checked. Now i dont pay anything. But as soon as I retire I pay it all.
Anger and self control? I used to have so much anger in me i felt like a volcano at times. And I spewed to folks around me just like one also. But I have learned to accept what I cannot change, change what I can, let things go, detach, and learn about the causes of this disease and how powerful it is. Using tools such as serenity prayer and slogans also helps me remain calm. When i DO get angry the anger passes much sooner and i usually dont explode. It passes because I dont want it to eat me up. No need to carry anger and resentment for hours, days, month or years like my mother did. She was so angry when i married that she did not allow me or my husband to eat a meal in her home for 7 years. I've seen her get so angry at my dad that she literally did nto talk to him for over a month. I choose not to be that way. Life is too short to waste it on being angry.

Good Morning Mistyeve,
Hope things work out with the insurance.
Anger / Self control
Ouch..... Anger used to be a part of my daily routine, carrying all the guilt and resentments for God knows how many years. It is great to have a program to release all that without any comment made on it. Today yeah there are days when I get upset, but it is not the kind of rage I had before. It is tamer and more controlled and when I feel it is getting too out of hand I tke action to turn the situation around. Be it walking away, praying , meditating or whatever I need to calm down. Anger is just one of those things that can consume you , fill your mind with pervaisive junk. It is a total waste of time and energy. I would much rather not go there. So I guess I have some control over my attitude but I would certainly not like to express it with anger.
Love & God Bless
Arlene

Dear Lin----I know exactly what ya mean about the benefits of working and getting insurance as opposed to not. Acceptance and moving forward
to do the next right thing are very
good tools with anger. Thanks for
stopping by Honey!----Mistyeve
Dear Arlene----Thanks for the good
wishes. I sure hope everything will work out. I was made to wait
6 months before getting insurance &
now that the 6 month waiting time is almost over my job just might be
too. I have to give it to God and just walk away from it. The song
Let It Be really helps me so much to let go of angry stuff I can't do
anything about. Thanks for stoppin

Anger is something I didn't feel until I was several years clean and sober.
Even today, many years later, I am learning to let go of it because it is healthy. I try to acknowledge it, accept it for what it is, and then let go.
I hope you get your insurance Misty. I am glad that I got life insurance when my son was 2 years old. He is going to be 39 in June.

Dear Caressa----Name it, claim it, & dump it has always been a real good formula for me to use in my program and in life. Thanks for the good wishes. I hope the insurance comes thru too cuz it is
one of those things you really can't live without. Thanks for stopping by----Misyeve
