For me, when I try and control something that I have no control over, my life becomes unmanageable.

Obviously I can't control my drinking, neither can I control other people (what they do and say), the weather, the TV programming, my illness, what others think of me etc....I'm sure that makes sense.

What I can control is my attitude, what action I take, when I go to sleep (sometimes, insomnia is part of my illness) who I am friends with, who I talk to, what I eat, what I look at on the internet, what I do with my time, when and if I get excercise etc....
