Serenity and empowerment require giving up the presumption that I have the right to dictate how my life should unfold. -The Tao of Sobriety page 159
I have experienced the truth of this saying hundreds of times during the short time I have been working my program. And yet I can catch myself reflexively trying to control the world as often as I care to stop and look. My problem is not in understanding or recognizing the truth of the teaching of the program. Instead it is with trying to incorporate those truths into myself to the level that they motivate my actions and not just my thoughts.
