“I will not allow my imagination to build small troubles into big ones. I will try to see each situation clearly, and give it only the value and attention it deserves. This is the sanity to which I want to be restored, as the Second Step suggests.” (ODAT, 19 October)
I can’t tell you how often I have mentally run through a situation a thousand times.
Each situation needs running through once, twice tops.
Most of my life seems to be like a computer game where the job is to avoid thinking about ten thousand things and think only about the thing that is in front of me.
