Things I Believed About Me When I Was Still Drinking
Things I Believed About Me When I Was Still Drinking
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.
That's enough out of me. What did you believe that turned out to not be true?

- 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.

Oh goodness, this is a long list. I shall shorten it for the sake of just because. HA!
I believed everyone liked me
I believed everyone wanted me sexually
I believed I was invincible
I believed I was a great dancer- SOOOOO not the case
I believed I was the life of the party- that everyone wanted me there. Ha, nope.
I believed I was good at whatever I did, softball, pool, driving, etc...
I believed I was promiscuous by fault
I believed I was incapable of love giving and receiving
I believed I was a horrible mother
I believed I would be my mother (now that I am sober, I am nothing like her)
I hate alcohol, evil evil.
