Letting go!!

...I WILL ACCOMPLISH MY GOALS!!!!!!!!



That's a contradiction.  Part of recovery, part of the letting go, means to accept life on G-d's terms, and to accept that His goals might be different that OUR goals.  We have to accept His plan and be able to let go of OUR plan.

Our addiction cannot be compartmentalized.

It is our approach to life, when there is something not quite right with it, which drives us to act out.

LETTING GO=I'm not in charge of my life anymore.  Hashem is the pilot and I'm just a passener.  I'm willing to accept life, ALL OF LIFE, on His terms.  I'm not running the show.  Things aren't always going to go the way I want them to or expect them to (and, sometimes it seems like they NEVER go the way we want them to), and I can peacefully accept that.

In other words, if G-d is your co-pilot, switch seats!
