Ok, now that you've gotten that out, what are you going to do about it?

I've been having the beginning of panic attacks lately and before they get out of hand I try to do something productive, like pray, read a recovery book, call my sponsor, anything to calm myself down. And once I've calmed down, I start looking for ways to reduce the stress and change my situation.

So, what can you start doing to make one thing go right? If your family hates you, then ignore them for now. If you're behind in your bills, maybe you should call a debt counselor. If you're overweight, maybe you should try OA or some other counseling to start dealing with the issues that are making you overweight.

Trust me, I'm not trying to be insensitive. But nothing changes if nothing changes, and while you may be powerless over a lot of things, you aren't helpless. Seek guidance from your HP and then put a plan into action for making one thing better. You can do it!
