Amen to this....
It isnt always easy hearing what we NEED to hear. I have to work on this one quite often!!
Another good post, thank you. Your right, life on life's terms. I find myself starting to crave now all of a sudden so I am reading posts and watching football so this craving don't grow, but football is pis sing me off today lol. Take care:)
If you are in a situation where it is making you mad gizzy then walk away for awhile. Football isnt worth the cravings.....
Football not making me crave MP, I think it hit reading a couple posts from 2 idiots lol, but like you say, we are only in control of us and I agree so much. Don't worry it's not bad, just those stupid thoughts ya know. I won't let it grow. Reading posts helps 99% of time so no worries, I am fine:) Just being a man ***** right now haha. My Bills and your Raiders suck tho. Delete my note to you today on how I thought the Raiders were gonna do good this year, LOL, just kidding.
Take what you want here and leave the rest. Dont let someones comments affect you. That is giving them the control and the power. You take back the control.........mp
Wow, that really reads well, it's a deep insight, but you also found the words to get it across. I really appreciate this post cause it's a 100% truthful. thank you.
Great post I'm glad u post this. I'm learning to accept the fact that I was a pill addict! I think the reason I have relapsed a few times n the past month is because I wasn't n accpetance! I'm slowly getting there. But it's really helping to k ow that I have to learn to deal with things sober no matte what the issue is. I was waiting for something to happen and when it didn't I got bored with life and started using alcohol then it led me back to the pills! Now I'm thinking differently! I have to accept life on life terms! I have to Do it sober!!!!! I'm happier this way!
Great post
Thanks for sharing and being honest.I was told I suffer from a spiritual malady and used alcohol and drugs to feel better or just plain old not feel at all. Today I am grateful for a way out. All I had to do was accept the facts about myself and be willing to live according to a few simple steps. Glad you are all here supporting one another.
Thanks Punkin. I read that one a lot in the Big Book and now if I can just learn to live it....
Yup that's why I probally kept relapsing. I was reminded how it felt to b numb and not feel. Then after talking with my counselor i realized that I need to exercise my demons and not run away. Not to b afraid.
I'm starting to accept the facts n my life. It's a much healthier way to do stuff.!! Plus I'm happier this way.
I needed to read this again today. Have a Good one everybody!!!!!
did it help ya? everything ok?
good post .....how did I miss it the first time around...luve Laurel's response to
May i copy what i have in my profile ? it is a long and hard work but worth it... the work inside myself
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important ... [More]
than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances,
than failures, than successes, than what people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make
or break a company...a church....a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude
we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change
the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have....and that is
OUR ATTITUDE...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and
90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitude.
