CONTROL:

~

Many of us have been trying to keep the whole world in orbit with
sheer and forceful application of mental energy.

What happens if we let go, if we stop trying to keep the world orbiting
and just let it whirl? It'll keep right on whirling. It'll stay right on
track with no help from us. And we'll be free and relaxed enough to
enjoy our place on it.

Control is an illusion, in fact, controlling gives other people, events,
and diseases, such as alcoholism, control over us. Whatever we try
to control does have control over us and our life.

In recovery, we make a trade-off. We trade a life that we have tried to
control, and we receive in return something better – a life that is
manageable.
