Al-Anon- Illusion we can Change Others and Admitting we are Powerless

I was inspired by a question from Al-Anon's  workbook 'Reaching for Personal Freedom' in the chapter for Step One that read "What keeps me holding onto the illusion that I have the power to change someone else?"
Seeing that it is only an illusion that we can change others is a crucial step in achieving personal freedom and growth. It is natural to want to help those we care about and to try to change their behaviors or situations that we see as harmful or negative. However, the truth is that we cannot control others, and trying to do so can lead to frustration, disappointment, and even resentment.
By recognizing our powerlessness over others, we can focus our energy on changing ourselves and our reactions to the people and circumstances in our lives. This shift in focus allows us to take responsibility for our own well-being and to develop the tools we need to navigate challenging situations and relationships in a healthier way.
It takes courage and humility to acknowledge our powerlessness, but doing so is a critical step in our personal and spiritual growth. When we let go of the illusion of control and accept what we cannot change, we create space for growth, healing, and transformation in our own lives.... Soul Recovery.
