Paying Rent

"No one needs to take up space in my head without paying rent." --

As an alcoholic, I am a victim of alcoholic "stinking" thinking. It is important, for this alcoholic, to remind myself that I do not need to be worried about people, places, or things that are not on my path of daily recovery. Often I find myself fretting over situations in which I have no control. I don't have a "dog" in the fight, so to speak. In order for me to keep my serenity and peace, I cannot allow any thought to take up space in my head without the rent being paid!
