People, Places, and Things

[MajestyJo]

Like the fact that I am powerless over people, places, and things.

I do not have the power to change people, I can't change myself, although I didn't know it. I just thought I wasn't trying hard enough or doing the right things. I thought it was all my fault. Relationships, looking for someone to make me happy. If I wasn't happy, they were not doing their job, only to find in Al-Anon it wasn't there job to begin with. Grrrrrrr! Major resentment!

Places were many things, although I didn't realize it, where I went the most was to my bed to hide out for life. For me it was the Royal Canadian Legion and the Riverside Inn, the "In" bar. The things were alcohol, pills, food, work, and the list goes on, and on, and on.

Anything I put between me and who my God wanted me to be in today, be came my God and I followed IT, instead of following my God's will for me. Didn't have to be a big thing, yet no matter what I picked up, it all led to the same soul sickness.
