MAYO 20

Tulad ng alkoholismo, ang labis na pag-iisip ay maaaring maging labis na hawakan. Ang pinakamabuting pag-asa ko sa pakikipaglaban dito ay hindi ang magsimula, dahil sa sandaling nagsimula, ito ay nagiging singaw at nagiging mas mahirap na harangan.

Bago kumapit ang labis na pag-iisip, kadalasan ay may isang punto kung saan kailangan kong pumili. Maaari akong magpasyang makipaglaro sa isip sa isang paksang nakaisip sa aking bihag sa nakaraan at samakatuwid ay mapanganib. O maaari kong makilala ang panganib at subukang tanggalin ang anumang pag-iisip ng paksa sa aking isipan, nagdarasal para sa tulong ng aking Mas Mataas na Kapangyarihan. Maaari akong makipag-ugnayan sa isang miyembro ng Al-Anon para sa suporta bago harapin ang isang paksa kung saan ako ay mahina, upang ang aking mga iniisip ay hindi magkaroon ng pagkakataong maikandado sa aking isipan.

Gagamitin ko ang kapangyarihan ng pagpili sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggi sa paanyaya ng mga nakakahumaling na pag-iisip. Kung hindi ko sila kukunin, hindi ko na sila pakakawalan.

Paalala sa araw na ito

Natututo akong bigyang pansin ang aking pag-iisip. Kung mayroong isang bagay na hindi ko maisip nang hindi nahuhumaling, igagalang ko ang katotohanang iyon at kikilos nang naaayon. Iipon ko ang lakas at suporta ng aking programang Al-Anon, ng aking mga kaibigan, at ng aking Mas Mataas na Kapangyarihan bago ko subukang mangatuwiran. At kung ito ay walang kinalaman sa akin, hindi ko ito kukunin lahat.

Like alcoholism, obsessive thinking can be too much to handle. My best hope in battling it is not to begin, because once started, it gains steam and becomes harder to interrupt.

Before obsessive thinking takes hold, there is usually a point at which I have to make a choice. I can opt to mentally toy with a subject that has held mind my hostage in the past and is therefore dangerous. Or I can recognize the danger and try to drop any thought of the topic from my mind, praying for my Higher Power’s help. I can reach out to an Al-Anon member for support before tackling a topic to which I am vulnerable, so that my thoughts won’t have a chance to get locked inside my head.

I will exercise the power of choice by refusing the invitation of obsessive thoughts. If I don’t pick them up, I won’t have to let them go.

Today’s Reminder

I am learning to pay attention to my thinking. If there is something I cannot contemplate without becoming obsessed, I will respect that fact and act accordingly. I will gather the strength and support of my Al-Anon program, my friends, and my Higher Power before I try to reason it out. And if it is none of my business, I won’t pick it up at all.
