Just because someone throws you a ball, doesn't mean you have to catch it.

In my first few months of sobriety, some crazy old timer threw out this in a meeting:

"All my problems were either Pink or Green"

It was super inappropriate for the setting, but being a male, it stuck with me that most of my problems stemmed from money or women. So during sobriety, if I am really hung up on something, for some reason this phrase pops up and calms me if I am worrying about money, GF, or anything else out of my control.

My wife's Dr telling her there was nothing more he could do for her. Then gave her some pamplets to help her decide between life support or a DNR request when her time came. I don't want to go that way.
