Stress is a killer and your death would be a permanent solution to a temporary problem because everything else is temporary.

This article could be helpful....https://www.raptitude.com/2014/07/not-giving-a-shit/
Also the AA Big Book describes the cause of over drinking(self medicating) is linked to caring so much about getting your way, that you get blown out when things out of your control happen . The main tenent is to stop worring about things out of our control & turn your cares over to God . I think this is addressed within the first 5 chapters .....You dont have to be an alky for the information to help . https://www.aa.org/the-big-book A snipet> https://www.aa.org/sites/default/fil...ook_chapt5.pdf read from the bottom third of pg 60 thru 1st third of pg 63 ....see if anything resonates . |

My family is far from random and my lives work shall not go down in vain. I do kinda agree with DAB. I haven't found the contentment to allow God to take over and just be OK....Now my wife has, and she seems to be worry free about her future, this helps me a bit. I wish I could follow her with this calmness about old age or getting older.... Not having the strength, the stamina, the fading power, all plays on my mind...Now, don't misunderstand, I'm strong for my age and told this often, just not who I was a few years ago. I guess for some, it's easier than others. I worry |

Throw your cell phone in lake.
Do not allow relatives at the house. Only dine at steakhouses. No more TV, except for car shows. Avoid doctors when wise. DO NOT become a dolphins fan. Thank yourself daily for all you do for others. |

Only care about the 4 F's. Everything else is nothing to even give a second thought about.
1) Feed 2) Finance 3) Fornicate 4) Family If they don't feed ya, finance ya, **** ya, and they're not family...they are insignificant in your life. That will at least narrow down your field of "give a shit." |

Nope. You can't nor will you ever be able to. You're wired to worry. I worry about a lot of shit too but what works for me is this; Today, everyone is OK. The bills are paid, (By me not God ) and everyone I give a shit about is healthy and doing OK.
Tomorrow it may be different but today it's OK. |

Probably have 99% of my strength but I get tired and have to take breaks. I live with joint and muscle pain everyday. And when I get out of bed in the morning it takes a little while to get going. I also believe as DAB does that it’s all in God’s hands. When I worship Him in my deeds and actions and praise His blessings on me, I find that the day is a good one. And if I’m an ass, he lets me know that too. |

I remember thinking this woman had balls the size of King Kong. She could no longer do something she absolutely loved, accepted it, and did what she could. I'm sure some of this wisdom comes with 80+ birthdays. Physical limitations come on slowly. She didn't wake up one morning and suddenly find herself physically unable. I'm not old enough to have hit that wall yet. Given my unnecessarily stubborn personality, I don't see resignation as a viable response. |
