That’s how I ended up at my first online Al-Anon meeting. Somebody had a little thing on their screen that said, “Don’t fight it, don’t fix it, don’t figure it out.” I took a picture of that and sent it to my friend Alex with a text that said, “Excuse me? Is this for real? What the hell am I supposed to do all day?” Slowly, I am learning that it’s my job to make myself okay. It is not my job to control other people’s decisions and lives so that I can feel okay. The question is: How do I be okay without using people to get me there? How do I make myself okay?
