I am going to try really hard not to worry about my friends and family members who are trying to fill the hole in their lives with material objects, alcohol, drugs, drunken friends, friends out for what they can get, and abusive boyfriends. And let me tell you that is harder than it sounds.
I was watching "Men of a Certain Age" this week and one of the characters has a gambling addiction. When his friends call him on it he goes into a tirade of "I am a grown-up and can do what I want". That could have came straight from my life. We are all grown-ups, but we don't go around saying that to justify our choices. When we do it means there is something wrong with our choices.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".
