DETACHMENT:

Detachment doesn't come naturally for many of
us. But once we realize the value of this recovery
principle, we understand how vital detachment is.

"The first time I practiced  detachment was when
I let go of my alcoholic husband. He had been
drinking since I had married him. For seven
years, I had been denying his alcoholism and
trying to make him stop drinking.

"I did outrageous things to make him stop
drinking, to make him see the light, to make him
realize how much he was hurting me. I really
thought I was doing things right by trying to
control him.

"One night, I saw things clearly. I realized that my
attempts to control him would never solve the
problem. I also saw that my life was
unmanageable. I couldn't make him do anything
he didn't want to do. His alcoholism was
controlling me, even though I wasn't drinking.

"I set him free, to do as he chose. The truth is, he
did as he pleased anyway. Things changed the
night I detached. He could feel it, and so could I
When I set him free, I set myself free to live my
own life.

"I've had to practice the principle of detachment
many times since then. I've had to detach from
unhealthy people and healthy people. It's never
failed. Detachment works."

Detachment is a gift. It will be given to us when
we're ready for it. When we set the other
person free, we are set free.
