I was listening to a podcast today, and the podcaster said something I found very exciting. She said,
"The biggest mistake most of us make is believing the things we think about ourselves."
That got my wheels turning, and I started to think about the things I believed about myself when I was still actively drinking. Things I have since realized were completely wrong.
Thought I'd throw a little list together and then also put it out on the boards to see what others might add.
- I believed I needed alcohol to sleep.
- I believed I was never going to be able to stay sober.
- I believed I would drink myself to death.
- I believed I drank because I was mentally weak.
- I believed I didn't deserve to be happy.
That's enough out of me. What did you believe that turned out to not be true?
