Things I cannot change are not the issue,
but the things I can change, I take over and start
trying on my own to change them.
But it’s not I who can change them
because my life is unmanageable,
not just the food, not the addictions,
not the bad habits but life itself!
I need to be able to see the things I can change,
that I can let change, that I can release,
but that doesn’t mean I need to get cocky
and think I can fix the world…even my part of it…
without the second and third steps,
without a Power that can, without surrender.
