things you have learnt along this journey...
I thought it might be fun to share some of the things I have learnt thus far ~along my journey & that it would be equally great to have others share for my learning...
alcoholism is an actual medical diagnosis which effects 20% of the population. [Explained to me by an Addictions Specialist/Dr.]
It is not because I am weak of character or lack the true will that I am powerless over alcohol....rather the opposite...think of how many times I have tried to "get it right"...[Explained to me by an Addictions Specialist/Dr.]
I am only responsible for myself...nothing others do is because of me. I am no ones keeper ~ nor do I wish to be. I give back the negative to its rightful owner. To own it makes me ill.
In order to be free and have forgiveness myself...I have to genuinely forgive others.
I need to stay open to & rely on my HP as I know it ~in order to receive the strength & discipline required to continue this journey. In may be one moment at a time, or one day at a time...but it is for a lifetime.
The journey is lifelong & requires a major shift in my lifestyle & my "working" the program in order to succeed.
I am deserving.
Thanks for letting me share, looking forward to learning from you & wishing* you a great 24!
