As much as I try, the only person who have the power over to actually change is our self. I cannot change the person that I am trying to help especially those that is suffering from a mental illness and addiction at the same time. It can get very stressful for me. I need to let go and let God, let the professional do their job. If I am not careful, I can do more harm to these people than help.
I need to say this other serenity prayer:
Dear God, please grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know…it is me. Amen.
I like to regret over my past and worry about the future, it can be very risky and dangerous to my recovery. It can really stress me and I need to say this other serenity prayer:
Dear God, please grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself because I am working on getting better, and the wisdom to know that you already love me, just the way I am. Amen.
I need to stay focus on today. One day at a time.
