[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 526796, member: 13542"] I hear you Calamity. That's why I do so much to support myself with prayer, meditation, therapy, groups, acupuncture, massage, etc. all things that calm me down, de-stress me and help me to understand that I really have no control over anything, except me and my reactions to things. Awhile ago I watched a TV program on folks who live to be 100 and what the characteristics of these centenarians are. The number one, which also impacts the quality of their lives, is their reaction to life's stressors, in other words acceptance of what is. I use every single opportunity I can to do that everyday. As humans, control is a huge issue, but there is so little we can actually control. My reaction to life is about it, so that's where I focus my attention [I]and get all the help I can to do it![/I] It takes a freaking' village. [/QUOTE]
