Bad Choices - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Gabe · 08-28-2005, 09:37 AM

"Bad choices should never be confused with wrong choices. Bad choices - and we have all made them - happen when we embark on sinuous stretches of self-destruction, usually with a smile. You don't ask your heart or a pal for advice. You don't ponder, and you certainly don't pray. Why? Because on the deepest intuitive level you know you shouldn't even be entertaining the thought of this choice. But you want to do it so badly that even it's badness doesn't daunt you. In fact, it eggs you on.
Quite frankly, my dear, we don't give a damn what anyone thinks at times like that, do we?
If we close our eyes, we can honestly say that we never saw disaster coming. How could we? Bad choices are made while we're sleepwalking. From now on, let's call them "coma choices". Before we even make them, we know when we wake up, we'll ask, 'How could I have been so stupid?'"

Bad choices make bad consequences,
Good choices make good consequences.
