The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Let go and let God. Should I give up my peace and serenity to try and control and/or influence another person, especially family? Heck no! Let it go....Live and let live--the focus needs to be on me and Step 1 always reminds me I cannot control anyone except on a good day, myself. :)
This is so true, sometimes (like recently), I find myself going straight back to Step 1 - but it's the most important one for a reason. It grounds us and reminds us of the first principle I need to do, acceptance. Acceptance of my situation but there is a power in that that I can take control of my reaction and what I can do.
