Worrying for nothing ... AGAIN!

The other day I was worrying myself to death because a very good friend of mine (14 years) hadn't called me and didn't return my calls. The ole co-de thing, worry so much you can't think of anything else.

When he finally did call I broke down in a cry of relieve. He wasn't mad at me, he was giving me some space because he knew I had a lot going on. (He has been very supportive of my recovery.)

Anyway, I told him yesterday that I've decided I'm not going to worry anymore if he don't call when I think he's going to and I will trust that if he does have a problem or is upset with me for some reason or other, he will tell me. That felt good. By me telling him that, I took the responsibility of trying to figure out what he's thinking off of me.

This is a step I can apply to anyone and any situation. I'm glad I learned how to do it - now lets see how good it works for me....lol
