C2C 1-27 speaks about our tendency of making mountains out of molehills. It points out that many times we blow up over a small incident simply because we have ignored too many small annoyances and this can buildup to a huge explosion of temper . Living one day at a time focused on ourselves, not reacting but responding helps us to manage situations in a healthier manner.........lu

Thank you, lookingup for your service today!
I never really thought I did this... BUT, over time, I did learn to REACT. Now that I can look back clearly, I guess it was making a mountain out of a molehill! LOL! I still jump to the "worst scenario" first. I recently found out that I am just like my father in that regard. Remembering to live ODAT keeps me more calm. I am still working on the "worst scenario" thingy!
Make it a great Saturday! I am off to school!

Thank you LU. I am still clinging to all the areas alanon has to offer. My brain can still react easily and yet.......it is so much better than it was!
Have a great day everyone!

Thanks for your service, LU, and all the ESH above. Ignoring small annoyances was my go-to way for years and years. Among other things I let my boundaries be crossed for thousands of times, until, years later, I ended up with a quite small amount of personal boundaries left that I myself honored. I "blew up" now and again but as I didn't know the tools to manage my life/myself in a healthy way, I just kept being a victim. I neglected myself, and I didn't realize there could be another way to deal with things than my way. Only my way got me crazy.
I too work on living One day at a time now. When I came to the program, I couldn't grasp this concept! Intellectually I understood what it meant, but I had no idea how to even begin to apply it. Thankfully I "got it" after a time of coming back, but its progress not perfection. I'm very grateful for this program, the tools it offers, the fellowship and my sponsor. I wouldn't be where I am today without Al-Anon. I'm not crazy anymore. Still half-crazy for sure, but that's progress!! :D
