Thanks for the post about control
I work at it too
SR isn't the core of my recovery but I do enjoy it when I'm here
I also have to be careful I'm not addicted to the internet
That can be a distraction that takes me away from self and doing the steps.
The illusion of control is a baffling feature of my illness
Usually i start my morning reading pgs 86-88 of the AA Big Book but haven't done it for a while. Boy have I felt it lately. Today i read it again though and started yawning (stress was relieved) as I read the reminder that When agitated or doubtful we ASK for the right thought or action. (I have to PAUSE and do this!!!) god has to be involved.
It says We are no longer running the show.
You mean I don't have to manage the world??
What a relief!
PHEW!
