One of the baseline 12 step recovery concepts is the utterly insane (on paper, anyway) move of turning your thoughts and actions over to the waves of an ultimately unknown future, doing the best you can with the footwork you take between the immediate impulses and the actions. Living your way into the answers, like Rilke said. (I hope it’s not gross and pretentious to quote him, and also I don’t care. This quote has helped me so much for so long. We gotta take it where we can get it.)
