Dare to be Great

So I believe I have a lot of change going on in my life at this point. First I have sobriety. Then I have growing up, in which I mean getting everything in my name, learning not to depend on my parents name. Finally I have been offered a "Leadership" position at my job. As my friend, coworker and a huge member of my support system has said today this is my dare to be great situation. This is my time. I thought these were my dark days, but I am learning this is my silver lining. I am trying to keep my head up and take the bull by the horns, as they say, with all of these changes. I am suspicious of all of these opportunities right now, only because I feel whenever good things happen bad things are to follow. I am keeping my head up and my mind as clear as I can. I also am looking at these opportunities as "distractions" from alcohol. I am very proud of what I have accomplished at work and most of all in the last 10 day. I have found a work out I enjoy and clears my mind, I have found a hobbie I've always enjoyed (forgot about it for a while) and finally and most of all I have come to realize who really cares about me. I guess I am just babbling, but I guess this is the place to do it.



Day 10- Daring to be great.

Hi, Dicso! Congrats on double-digits of sobriety!

I can totally relate about being suspicious about opportunities, and that I have to learn how to dare to be great.

Thank you for this thread - real inspiration!

Best wishes to you and keep posting)

MidnightBlue- I've been trying to change that train of thought I have on opportunities so I don't have such a negative outlook on them, but baby steps I guess. Thank you so much!!

Nuudawn- Thank you!!
