Hi and I hope these responses can point you in good healthy thinking and actions. We as alcoholics need that sort of inspiration and steady reminders of why we are in recovery.
My anxieties with the what ifs were a total waste of energy and a lot of sanity because I concentrated on things that usually never happened and avoided doing things that mattered. In AA we learn and become aware of the reasons we drank and how to successfully avoid those pitfalls and that’s not an overnight fix.
One thing that helped me was to concentrate on today because in reality that’s all we have.
BE WELL
