When one alcoholic/addict shares with another alcoholic/addict

Don't Let Anyone Walk Around In Your Head with their Dirty Shoes On

We tend to let others control our lives. We allow people to rob us of our dreams. Just when we think we've got it together, someone will make a statement or remark about how we should act or what we should be and we allow those remarks to make us question and doubt ourselves. We give these people power over us. No one else should control our lives. We are in control of our own lives and destiny with the help of our Higher Power. We cannot live our lives through other people's thoughts or action. We don't have to allow ourselves or our thoughts to be controlled by someone else's judgement.

How often we allow others to rent space in our head. We don't even charge them rent. Most times, they don't even know they are there.
