Quote:
The facts of any situation include the hopelessness of the difficulty you face, but they also include the reality of God's power to work in your impossible situation.
Some one said,
Look around - and be distressed
Look within - and be depressed
Look to God - and be at rest.
In fact that's the only way you can be at rest when you face an impossible situation. Focus on God instead of the circumstances.

The best way for me to change my attitude is to go to a meeting. My son has even been known to suggest that I get myself there.
For me, it is important that he is in his disease and not take things personal. I could be hurt and sad, but why go around in doom and gloom. I can't change him, but I can change me and my attitude. Sometimes it means reinforcing my boundaries and detaching from a situation, I have the tools of the program to help me through each day.
