just for today.....
i told my sponsor that i was confused...i asked her how do i NOT enable, NOT control, NOT shame, AND listen to myself, my own gut about trouble brewing and what to do about it (nothing is brewing right now...i was just trying to be ready for the next time.....)...confront it? if so, how? leave it alone?...give him the dignity to live his own life? blah blah blah.....my mind was all screwed up in tangles....
she said.....why are you worrrying about something that isn't happening today? might never happen? God doesn't want you to be spending your time like that....if you work your program, you will know what you need to know when you need to know it....
oh.....ok...thats pretty simple......and i can choose to listen to her...just for today......

Yes, thank you! We codies are notorious for doing that! My sister calls it "borrowing trouble". She says "quit borrowing trouble, you don't even know if that's going to happen". So, thanks for the reminder....I find that has been a difficult behavior for me to change.

Someone told me that if I have one foot in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday, I'm peeing all over today. There is a balance between planning for tomorrow and obsessing over it. I have to really work to get that balance. Good post for me today. Hugs, Magic

It's so hard to change. There's no denying that. What makes it even more sad is that we want to so bad, it hurts. And we have difficulty doing it.
Be kind to yourself. Use the same creed as AA...one day at a time. And if that's too much time, one hour at a time.
And Magic...such wisdom. Loved it!!!
