I was listening to a recovery related podcast this afternoon and one of the speakers said [and I paraphrase] "When I try to control things in situations when I have no control, I have no energy to change the things that I can change."
I hadn't thought about it that way.
It makes a lot of sense. How can I be present and of service when I have no emotional, mental, or physical resources because I've been using them in trying to fight something I will never win?
I know I will be giving a lot more thought to this idea.

Great awareness and acceptance Mikhail. It is amazing how, each day, a new idea seems to explode and demand our attention. I love how program works when we work it.

I agree with Betty - great awareness......I love that you're using the tools to awaken realizations in yourself for your recovery. I can be such a kid at heart that while some of these are not the 'best news ever', I am always grateful that they came to life when needed!
Keep doing what you are doing - it looks really good on you! (((Hugs)))
