Equanimity

“What other people think of me is none of my business” is a slogan I learned in Al-Anon, the 12-step recovery program for families and friends of alcoholics that I have worked for 22 years.

Recently a friend texted me an apology for offending me. I had no idea what she was talking about. Maybe she intended some offense?

When we finally spoke, I simply said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t give anyone that kind of power over me.”

I spoke the truth, and I thank God for Al-Anon.

You write or draw it: How free are you from what other people think?
