We Have As Much Time As We

Codependents Are Reactionaries. They Overreact. They Under-react. But Rarely Do They Act. They React To The Problems, Pains, Lives, And Behaviors Of Others. They React To Their Own Problems, Pains, And Behaviors.

God, Help Me Let Go Of My Need To Be Afraid. I Welcome Peace, Trust, Acceptance, And Safety Into My Life. I Will Make A Point Of Listening To My Healthy, Rational Fears, And Will Relinquish All The Others.

Today I Will Stop Trying To Control My Relationships. I Will Participate At A Reasonable Level And Let The Other Person Do The Same. I Can Let Go, Knowing That The Relationship Will Find Its Own Life-or Not-and That I Don't Have To Do All The Work, Only My Share.

Today I Will Let Go Of My Need For Approval And My Need To Be Liked. Instead, I Will Choose To Like And Approve Of Myself. The People Who Count (including Me) Will Respect Me When I'm True To Who I Really Am.

If We Are Waiting For Guaranteed Courses Of Action, We May Spend Much Of Our Life Waiting.
