I'm grumbling about other people grumbling. Sort of a under the
radar murmuring and complaining situation. I am trying to
acknowledge my irritation and let it go without judgement. Just as
the physical body has the ability to mend itself so does my emotional
body. Eventually I'll hear the complaints and they won't get an
emotional rise out of me. Hopefully I'll acquire the habit of
realizing that I cannot be responsible for how someone else feels. I
have felt as though I would have to fix everything around me. I
would mold myself to fit iinto a situation. I didn't like ill-
feelings since they brought a sense of fear on. I wasn't doing my
part in the scenario. I am staying away from dwelling in the past
yet I need to recognize how my reactions to situations are colored by
my ingrained habits. I am trying to do things that are functional
for my well-being. Tilting towards joy I can give myself a chance to
know how to start developing good decision making skill and lay a
strong foundation for my life in sobriety.
