Many people living in one day at a time recovery need to have a reality of control. This means we need to be able to make choices even when we are upset and resistant to advice. In addition to this the need to have a reality of control is common among all people. It is not that we act as control freaks, there are just times we are not receptive to direction because it might not always be welcomed or perceived as something correct. When things are out of sorts with us we need to make a calm decision. It is always true that decisions made calmly are received better because they are made in a reality of control. It makes life easier and easier is always better. We also need to let it go to gain control. Be comfortable. Be respectful. It’s reality. Peace.
