Free To Choose - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**Ann** · 03-12-2007, 03:28 AM

You do not have to keep making the same mistakes. You can choose to change.

You do not have to keep being held back by the same fears and insecurities. You have the ability to move forward if you wish.

There is no good reason why you must settle for anything less than the very best that life has to offer. Anything is possible when you put your full commitment and the energy of your life into it.

The past has brought you to where you are, yet it has no power to hold you back. In each moment, you are free to choose your own direction.

Reach within yourself and connect with a guiding purpose that you know is right for you. Allow yourself to fully be the unique and beautiful person you are meant to be.

This day, this moment is a blank canvas upon which you are now able to paint. Fill it with the magnificent splendor that you know is yours to give.

I understand, and will say a prayer for both our sons.

Just for today, let's not live in fear.
