This is a list of things that I have learned in the 21 weeks of my sobritey.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT:
Alcohol took away my freedom and that AA is giving it back to me
I am never to take anything for granted,that each day is a gift
some people will stand by you no matter what the circumstances
there are many goodhearted,kind,understanding people who are willing to help if you let them
self pity is a destructive emotion
no matter how bad the situation,it too will pass
if someone gives me advice that makes me mad it was the advice I NEEDED to hear and not what I wanted to hear
I am not responsible for other peoples mood,actions or reactions. I am only accountable for my own
I should not take my bad moods,cravings and anger out on other people just because I am having a bad day. They don't deserve to suffer for my shortcomings.
I don't have to be perfect to accept and like myself for who I am..flaws and all
it's up to me to keep going when the going gets tough
my attitude will determine if I will have a bad day or a good day.
I can't change my past but I can learn to live with it .without booze
To be thankful for my blessings
It's not all about me
Right On!
I find my days easier when I can exercise patience and let some of my expectations of other people go....
I call it "the power of whatever" !
I call it "the power of whatever" !
I've learned all that stuff too, I just have to remember it, LOL! Another good one, that my BF shared with me early on in my sobriety when I was having a horrible day, is "you can start your day over at any time".......thanks for sharing and hope you are doing well this Friday evening!
