Good morning dear friends from Roger. Today, let’s consider that the obsession to pressure other people to see things our way keeps us agitated. In contrast, the wisdom to understand that every persons view has validity, at least for that person, is a gift we receive from working the Twelve Steps. Our daily assignment, then, is to be patient and listen so that we may learn this lesson from women and men who have walked this path already, women and men who have come to understand that letting go of others and their addictions promises relief from the obsession that troubles each of us. Look around. All of us have tried to force solutions that didnt fit. And we drove ourselves crazy trying to control the behavior of others, certain that doing it our way was not only reasonable, but right. Our past sometimes may appear to be a series of failures. But our present experience can be peaceful, hopeful, and successful. Its our decision to let go. A small decision that we can make many times today, every day. Let go are tiny words with huge rewards. If we want to, we can give up our attempts to control someone today. Peace will be our reward. Many blessings to you and yours today my very dear friends!
