Entanglements

Tying our sobriety to someone we are emotionally involved with proves flatly disastrous. "I'll stay sober if so-and-so does this or that" puts an unhealthy condition on our recovery.
We have to stay sober for ourselves, no matter what other people do or fail to do.
We should remember, too, that intense dislike also is an emotional entanglement, often a reversal of past love.
We need to cool any overboard feeling, lest it flip us back into the drink.
- Living Sober, p. 62

No one is going to mess up my day.




We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise. ... B-)
