Al-Anon. Meetings worldwide in person and Zoom. I can change no one. I can learn to get the focus off others and focus on myself. Check out six meetings, then decide if it is for you. Al-Anon is for us. Can’t make the alcoholic stop - period. I got my life back when I quit trying to change others, as heartbreaking as it is, I can’t fix anyone.

@willow5 Agreed. Acceptance is a choice and I have to practice doing it. A quote from one of the stories in the AA Big Book..."And acceptance is the answer to all of my problems today..." I can't remember the specific page it is on but it continues. Accepting that I can control, no one else, except for my reactions (which I am still working on as I tend to be reactive) brings some serenity.
