There are many of us who have had
horrible childhoods and use to reach
for alcohol or drugs to numb or quiet
the noises that seem to creep into our
minds and brains.
I'm one of those who uses alcohol till
I turned 30 and entered recovery via
a family intervention and was placed
into the hands of those capable of teaching
me how to live a successful life addiction
free.
I'm 50ish yrs old with 26 yrs sobriety. A
many one days sober incorporating the AA
program of recovery taught to me yrs ago.
Yes, I still have those childhood thoughts
that want to come in and bring me down,
but today I have many wonderful tools and
teachings to help me get rid of them emmediately
and to not allow them to rent free in my brain.
Too avoid sitting and thinking, I have to
find ways to get out of myself and help
others. To take those self seeking thoughts
about myself and put them on reaching
out to help others.
When you are working in your job, you
stay busy focusing on the task at hand
where there is no room to think about
yourself. Right?
Remember....all of us are survivors of
past and each day we remain sober or
clean, moving forward building a strong
solid recovery foundation we rise above
all those people, places and things that
once tried to rob us of our happiness.
I refuse to all my past to define me. I
am a survivor and I am strong and most
of all sober. No one is allowed to mess
with my life and recovery that ive worked
so hard to achieve.
So can you...!!!!
Work closely with your doctors as your
insides begin to even out which will in
time and as long as you remain sober
or clean. Stick close to your army of
angels here in SR to guide you with each
new step you take each day.
We are here for you to lean on for
support and strength.
