Good...in recovery our lives do become manageable and our minds, bodies, personalities change/heal tremendously...

once the illness is arrested and in remission there is no longer a need to control it...

certainly I am still powerless over the addiction but it is "asleep" for lack of better words...

We do control our lives and recovery...the disease hasn't changed...but we certainly have...a lot of things still happen that I don't have control over but that is when I have to accept things...

A devastating aspect of my alcoholism and addiction was my unwillingness to accept, lack of courage to change...pretty much the reverse of the serenity prayer

Best to you always
