Alcoholics suffer from “self-will run riot.” We do too! Being certain that we were right, that our way was the right way, was part of our old lives. Many of us fell into the habit of picking up the pieces when a spouse or other family member made a mess of some situation. And that fueled our belief that we knew best. In regard to some circumstances, we probably do know best. After all, each of us is right some of the time. But learning to back off from a situation, even when it appears we are right, empowers us. Not having to be right gives us a new freedom. It lessens the tension between us and other people. It relieves us of the burden of trying to make outcomes match our expectations. Our path through life will be easier to navigate if we try to be right only regarding ourselves. Today I will only decide what’s right for me. Today's reading is from the book A Life of My Own, Meditations on Hope and Acceptance
