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.
