The things I don't think anymore
I dont doubt the strength of Alcoholism. Its brutal and oh so powerful.
I dont doubt that Alcoholism is a disease. It is.
I dont try to force him into meetings. Not my business.
I dont ask if he's gone to meetings. See above.
I dont ask how he can wreck our family and not care. Already know his disease prevents him from feeling his feelings.
I dont ask if he knows how much I hurt. See above.
I dont expect him to be responsible, loving, kind or thoughtful. He is incapable at this time.
I dont think I can control him. Controlling alcoholism is like trying to hold back a freight train with my bare hands....and it ruin's my manicure.
Also......
I dont doubt that I have a higher power anymore. He IS there for me, names God.
I dont think I am worthless. My value is directly related to what I give to others. Have lot of friends today.
I dont think I am less than. I am just equal to anyone and everyone.
I dont think I am alone anymore. Not with the support Ive got.
I dont think its all my fault. Its not, its a disease.
I dont think I am beyond help. Im recovering, so Im absoultely within help.
I dont think I know everything there is to know about anything. Ive retired from the occupation of God.
I dont believe that people cant change. I can, so anyone can.
I dont believe that I can get people sober. God can, think I;ll let him.
All of the things I don think anymore are things I USED to think.
Change in attitude, redirected my distorted thinking.
Lot happier today.
