Never Let me Imagine that my satisfaction with life depends on what someone else may do. ODAT in Al-Anon pg. 234 ----I love that!
I'd like to add my thanks. Your post was a good message that I really needed to "hear" today.
The fact that you are letting yourself
feel that feeling in your stomach and pondering it shows good progress in your recovery. So many times our first reaction is to let those feelings (anger - resentment- fear) get to us, and then we react--often in unhealthy ways.
Its great that you are giving yourself time to think about what's really going on with you. You are controlling something that you have the power to control. I hope your feeling of being empowered continues.....and gets stronger. Keep doing what you're doing and take care of you
