I’ve been going through a pretty big emotional situation over the last few days. It’s got me feeling pretty down and overthinking. I read my literature and hit a lot of meetings, already know im hitting 2 tomorrow. Which takes my mind off it while I’m in the meeting. The spiritual principle a day is about the Serenity Prayer. Which is what im having a hard time actually doing. I know that i can’t change what has happened and that i need to accept it. But i just can’t seem to get my shit together and do it. I’m processing my emotional response a lot better than before i started my recovery, almost 90 days, but have a long way to go…

With the Serenity Prayer, I had to start with “Accept the things”. Just that, accepting that things were real. Things I did not like, things I wanted to control, things that were fantastic, all those were just things that existed.
I am a firm believer that we can only and we can always change our reaction to things. And lots of times that is all that we can change and control.
The one thing you can ’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.
