Im back on the crazy train
Im back on the crazy train
I feel the whirling, spiraling thoughts of insanity again. OMG will I ever be normal?! I know I'm powerless over persons, places, and things but WHY can't I control? Why can't I grasp my mind around surrendering and suppressing the urge to control when my mind just goes and goes and I can't turn on the breaks? It's a constant fighting battle to turn the focus over to my higher power.
I'm going to attend an Alanon meeting tonight- I sure do need it. I feel like my mind is literally straight insanity right now.....

RedDog,
Imagine the love of your Higher Power is a big, soft blanket; HP is wrapping that blanket around you right now - it comforts and protects you - nothing can harm you inside of the blanket.
Now just relax and breathe.
Life will be better after your Al-Anon meeting; share if you want, gratefully accept what the others offer - they will understand.
Keep coming back,
Jim

Turning to a higher transcendental force for the good does not free us from reasoning. If our thoughts are kind and practical many believe this force will help.
I turn to this power too, while also logically thinking things out: as best I can...

The crazy train doesn't stop at my house anymore, I rode it for years before I realized I just had to say "no more, let me off this dang thing" and like you, I found my peace at meetings.
