Learning to live this way gives me relief from stress and worry and resentment.
Whenever I'd be crying about my latest terrible problem I was going through and focused only on me, my sponsors would suggest I needed to get out of myself and go do something for somebody else. It worked. A lot of my problems really are only in my head and a result of distorted thinking and false beliefs.
When I trust my higher power, I don't have to run the show anymore--I can relax and let things be and it's a much more peaceful and easier way to live.
