Letting Go-A Daily Read that helps me
To let go doesn’t mean to stop caring; it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off; it is the realization that I can’t control another.
To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to change or blame another; I can only change myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own outcomes.
To let go is not to be protective; it is to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and petition God.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and to cherish the moment.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anyone, but to become what God wants me to become & realize my dreams.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the moment I’m in, for RIGHT NOW!
To let go is to fear less and love more.
Perhaps it is letting go of a child or spouse, or a burden or sorrow, losing a loved one, or learning to live with a situation, which I just cannot change. Read this over, study it, pray for it, apply the spiritual principles of the 12 steps & I will find that letting go of my load will release a peace within me which will allow my spirit to soar & rocket me into the 4th dimension and be free. Give COMPLETELY to God and let a work be done within me, where the need is anyway.

Hi Missy2, yes I don't get here often anymore, but thank you for bumping this thread! I can't ever get info like this in front of me often enough as a reminder - and your timing is fantastic!

NO coincidences, only synchronicity. True, clean & sober 17 yrs July 4 2019. More specifically active in my recovery with the application of the 12 Steps, spiritual in nature. Hope you are doing well!

Hello, oneday@atime.
I have 21 years, 11 months continuous sobriety, AA'er here also, and I'm going to copy this and study it every day for a month. I have a son who's staying here with us temporarily with five months sober, not going to meetings, and it's really tough to keep my mouth shut. I also attend Al-Anon meetings, periodically. Thank you for posting this a long time ago. This is just what I needed today. Pleasure to meet you.
