Because if we don't control the controllable, then the uncontrollable will control us.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the things you can't control? In episode #233 of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon dives into this very struggle. With over 30 years of experience in the recovery world, Robert shares his wisdom on how to manage the uncontrollable aspects of life. He highlights a key concept from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book: 'lack of control, that was our dilemma'.
Robert emphasizes that while we can't control everything, we can choose how we respond. This episode is all about learning to focus on what we can control and letting go of the rest. Robert shares his personal story of how failing to manage his social and work relationships led to a relapse. His message is clear: take a proactive approach to life by diffusing, neutralizing, or removing the uncontrollable factors.
He also advises enlisting the perspective of someone else to make objective decisions about what to remove from your life. This episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery. By mastering control over what we can, we prevent the uncontrollable from taking over.
