Why not me?
I was reading an article about a couple grappling with an terminal illness and what really stood out was their thought process of Why not me? Versus Why me?
It stood out that acceptance of the situation allowed them go at it in a different mindset and possibly a less defeating dwelling type of emotional way.
Works for sobriety? Why not me? Yes I’m an alcoholic and instead of being upset ...well there’s millions of us, so why not me? What can I do about it?
I can be sober one day at a time. The simple advice has really helped on bad days or what not. It’s a really easy and feasible goal and I can be proud of it even in bad times.
