“until we let go absolutely” (Page 58, Big Book)
What do I detach from?
- The past
- The future
- The world
- Its people
- Me
- My circumstances
- The results
What does detachment mean?
- Don’t think about it
- Don’t talk about it
- Don’t interfere with it
- Don’t stare at it
Is there an exception?
Yes, when planning the day, these might need a glance, under God’s guidance; as I am going through the day, I might need to briefly apprehend what is going on.
But otherwise: keep the focus on the right thought and the right action, and on nothing else.
