Excerpt from ODAT reading for the day

Today's Reminder: I do not have to accept the continuous misery that goes with alcoholism. I will not surrender to the vagaries and machinations of the alcoholic. No one can distort my thinking unless I permit it.

Then: God help me to accept the responsibility for finding a better way of life through surrendering to You and Your guidance.

So thankful for the readings, they truly help so much!

Thank you!

Dear Jackie

Thank so much for this reminder.  I may be powerless over this disease but I am not helpless.  I have choices. 

 It is my responsibility to take care of myself in a positive fashion without interfering with another.

Hi ,

Great post, read it this morning and now you have reminded me.

I have been struggling abit my sober ABF is active again.  I know thanks to al anon that there is nothing I can do he has choices too all I can do is protect me.  However the disease is sneaky and my guilt has been returning I have been feeling selfish for detaching and not letting alcoholism bring me back down and my children.

 

Thanks again all I can do is hand him over wish him the best and ask Hp for guidance and to give me the strength and courage to love myself.

 

hugs tracy xx

Thank you for sharing this today, Jackie. I usually read my ODAAT at the end of the day, but I really needed to read these words this morning as I face some difficult challenges in the coming days.
