They did the best they could.

This is something I learned in my first meeting. My parents, addicts as they may be, did the best the could when it came to raising me and my siblings. They didn't have it easy, and while I know that, and know they did their best, it still doesn't make it easy...

Lately, I have been so stressed and spinning, that I talk myself to sleep by repeating the serenity prayer over, and over, and over, and over. Sometimes I add in a few rounds repeating the 12 steps, too, but mostly, it's just the serenity prayer.

Grant me the courage to accept the things I cannot change (other people, my past), the courage to change the things I can (how I react to others, how I deal with my past experiences), and the wisdom to know the difference (which is what my T is there to help with!)
