Control

I will decide which areas I can control and which areas I cannot...

I must remember that life is not a constant problem to be solved. Life is a mystery to be faced. I now understand why I had to keep a tight rein of control on my feelings as a child. I know why I had to believe that I could exert some control over my alcoholics family. I have accepted many unrealistic messages about what I can and cannot do.

Today I will look for opportunities to let go of control, and I will go slowly and be protective of my self. I will look for supportive and safe opportunities where I can experiment with how it feels to "let go."

Today I release my tight grip on life.... and Live.
