Today's reading resonated with me, when I first started intensively going to Al-Anon meetings, I was trying to analyse the situation, my circumstances and environment, I am a scientist by training and so I was looking through matters using that lens.

It was only when I've started actually trying to let go of control, to acknowledge my powerlessness and to also practice Al-Anon in all my affairs that I eventually started to believe and understand.  I can truly say miracles happen and I in a much better place personally and mentally.

The end quotation really made me stop and think today when I was listening to the daily readers from the AFG Daily Readers Community on WhatsApp...

From the Today's Reminder in C2C;

Todays Reminder

Does analyzing my situation provide any useful insights, or is it an attempt to control the uncontrollable? Am I taking inventory or avoiding work that needs to be done by keeping my mind occupied? I have heard that knowledge is power. But sometimes my thirst for knowledge can be an attempt to exercise power where I am powerless. Instead, I can take the First Step.

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

Soren Kierkegaard
