I Release the Need to Control

Welcome to Daily Sober Affirmations, your daily dose of sober strength and inspiration. I'm here to guide you towards a brighter, healthier, and more fulfilling life, one day at a time.
One of the biggest lessons we learn in recovery is the importance of letting go.
Of surrendering to something bigger than ourselves... of trusting in a power greater than our own.
It's about recognizing that we're not in control of everything... that life is full of uncertainty... and that trying to control everything is a recipe for anxiety and unhappiness.
It comes with time and comes with a constant self reflection.
It can also be more dangerous than you think.
Trying to always take control of something, often something that can't be controlled, is an easy route towards disappointment, anger, upset...
I, for one, am often guilty of it.
But if it has made me anything it has taught me that this is something that cannot work.
I trust that life will help me
I will have a path to follow that will guide me
And I cannot simply try to control it.
When we cling to control, we become rigid and inflexible. We resist change, and we create unnecessary stress for ourselves.
Letting go doesn't mean giving up; it means trusting that things will work out, even if they don't go according to our plans.
It means embracing the uncertainty of life and surrendering to the flow.
It means trusting your path.
You are not always in charge
Take that as a positive and you'll be on your way to a much better life.
So let's solidify this intention with these affirmations...


I release… the need… to control.


I surrender… to something bigger… than myself.
I trust… in a power… greater than my own.


I embrace… the uncertainty… of life.
I am willing to give it to you
I release the want to always be right
I focus on moving forward


I trust… that things will work out… even if they don't go… according to my plans.
I choose.
I move.
I accept what will happen.
