I believe this is a AA term, meaning that we have no control over anything or anyone except our selves.

To me it means that you cannot control people, but you can respect a partner or husband or friend, no one wants to be controlled... not even healthy to try!! and places? if a place like a restaurant or a library or a grocery store, decides to close it isnt under your control as it didnt belong to you,, and things? are just that things... what's to control? an object?if you mean a car, well you just drive it and you are in control of it. and your job? you are in control if you are doing it properly, and your diet, and the way you dress, the way you relate to people, you are in control ... these are reasonable but are still called things... You are only in control of yourself.

It means that they have power only over their own actions and nothing else.

Perhaps they don't want to face the problems they have within a certain society.

i think that statement means that we cannot control anything but ourselves and our own actions or reactions.
