Other people's moods - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**51anna** · 06-18-2006, 12:10 PM

I used to feel like cork in the middle of the ocean. I would tossed to and fro, up and down and nearly drowned, by other peoples' moods. I hated it and knew intellectually what I had to do, but still felt helpless to change.

For me, it's one of the many benefits of recovery. The longer I am in recovery, the more at peace I feel with myself. And, the more comfortable I feel with myself, the less other people get to me. I have found a place within myself that I love.

My mantra for years has been...

"How Important Is It?"

I absolutely insist on my serenity!!
