When I was able to become honest with myself, I realized I tended to let other people make a lot of decisions about my life without actually taking very much responsibility for my own choices. I found myself believing that I knew better what everyone else should do with their lives and feeling responsible for their choices; then feeling accountable for their consequences without taking care of what I could for my own life.
Came to believe a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
We have a saying in Al-Anon, “The family condition is bound to improve even if only one of its members is practicing the principles of recovery.”
When we lose ourselves in trying to change someone else’s behavior, or manipulate circumstances, or obsess over fixing any particular situation, we will no longer have time for the things we can do to better any situation.
So what is your intention for 2021?
