self-management
"my life has become unmanageable; my first task is to set it in order. If I earnestly want to manage my life, I will have no time to manage anyone else's" -One Day at a Time in Al-Anon.
Neither Kev nor I have a drinking problem, and I'm not going to Al-Anon, but my mom bought me this book as she thinks it might have some insights for me into what went wrong with Kev and I, and why we're breaking up, and why the break-up is so strange and hard.
Co-dependence groups also use the 12 step process.
It's interesting to note that alcoholics are alcoholics long before they abuse drink. The final abuse of drink is the symptom of their alcoholism.
I like the quote because my line coming out of all this is "I am going to be my next project." Enough of fixing other people's lives, I have to get my own in order.
