Hi
This alcoholic was and at times still wants to isolate from people, places and things just like I did drinking. Isolation for an alcoholic is very dangerous. I also wanted to control/change a lot of things.
Then too slowly I learned that drinking or not that life continues with or without me at the helm. I learned being away from the helm and just trying to fix me is a very large challenge and after many years sober is not completed yet, sort of 3 steps forward then 2 back at times.
The Serenity Prayer words “accept the things I cannot change” is often overwhelming at times it seems but so needed for our serenity.
BE WELL
