Hi, I'm Vera, and I'm also a recovering controlaholic.
I can certainly resemble this remark. The operative part being recoverING. I think there's a lot of freedom in realizing that you can't control someone else's actions.

Because I can't control everything and when things didn't go my way, who did I blame? Who was disappointed? Who felt like a failure over and over?
Yep. I know what you mean. When you lay down those bags, the disappointment, discontent, and blame all go away.
