Drama Free Life?

Is it possible if I start making better decisions? I feel like I'm on a merry go round......

I find my life is remarkably constant now, yeah - there are still up and downs, but I negotiate them way better....

*I* stay constant...

I don't think of my new life as making better decisions. I now live a principle driven life. One where I try to incorporate principles in all my affairs. I try not to make any decisions if at all possible. I try to live my live without judgement, decisions and expectations. This automatically frees me from making poor decisions. It might not make much sense, but it works surprisingly well. Call it Zen, Wu Wei or Holy indifference. A life without decisions is a life without bad Karma.

Sobriety is the first step.

I hate to quote AA in a non 12 step forum but here goes.
"Our problems are of our own making"
Actually it's not a direct quote but it holds true whether you do AA or not. We create our own drama. We create our own misery. We create our own troubles. Sometimes we have to look a little harder to figure out where and how, but it's always back on us.

What Dee said.

I also just have no tolerance for toxic people in my life, they get cut out QUICK.. friends, family, business associates, I've become the queen of setting rigid boundaries to protect my serenity.
