Attitude of life and living... - catahoula_cur's Journal

Jul 03, 2008 12:00AM - 4 comments

Today was a day where as I come slowly but staying steadily on my road to recovering and tapering from xanex addiction that I noticed that my attitude is changing...for the better, in that I co-exist with my co-workers easier now, and I know that it comes from within my on how I precieve myself first so that I can precieve others in following. With addiction, my attitude was always about me...me only and it was something I did not see myself. Yet, now I realize that it was'nt me, but the medication that put me in the frame of mind that I was so concerned about staying at a certain medicated level, that I allowed life to pass me by each day, not paying attention to what is important and that is self-respect and showing it to others, for it returned when shown. I am not writing that it is a perfect world..no, but I am writing that I see through my eyes not a fog or a mist as I would normally have seen, but instead a clearer picture..of others and myself. I am thankful for this, and grateful for God that He loves me, and forgives me, and still embraces me in his fold.

Isn't the view beautiful once the fog has lifted? I'm so happy for your progress and as always so inspired by your words.Stay strong.Peace. Kim

I remember thinking that it was everyone elses attitudes that were bad........not mine!!! When i got out of my fog i saw things much clearer as you are. This just shows that you are really working at becoming that man you want to be. You have come so far already. You are a very kind,caring and considerate man already. It only gets better. Kick back and enjoy your 3 days off. until tomorrow night..................sara

I am inspired by your words as well..I am needing reminders that God loves me and forgives me..not because I am good, But because He is good..His mercies are new everyday..I hope you have a wonderful weekend.....Lisa
