Signing in for 24 more hours on Wednesday morning.

Tough day yesterday, but drinking was never an option. Thought about it and how in the past I would've caved into drinking to "handle" a day like that - only to add to my problems. Progress! At least at the end of the day I could feel good about that.

Respond vs React


When I look at my life today, I see that I am where I am at in life more as a direct result of
my own choices or responses to what life throws at me.

However when I look back over my life 1 yr and beyond into the past I can see that
my life was a direct result of my reaction to life.

I was never one to take pause and think anything through. If someone said something
that struck me as hurtful I would immediately lash out.

If someone would point out a mistake that I had made I would get defensive and have
to make excuses.

I was so overly sensitive to most every little thing I experienced. I was a reactor.

I didn't understand the concept of taking pause and thinking before saying or doing something
I would regret.

Always on the defense. I am learning though.

I over reacted the other night with someone and there are consequences to over reacting.
I lost my peace for several days.

In the past any emotion that made me uncomfortable I had to either lash out or completely
numb it. It was one of two things I either exploded or I self medicated with drugs and alcohol.

I had this one sponsor (NA/AA) and the first time I called her I would say something and
she paused for what seemed like 2 min. I remember that the silence freaked me out and
I actually blurted out "Umm this isn't working out" and I hung up the phone.

I ended up going to a meeting she was at to explain why I hung up and she said "deek, I
like to think before I respond". WE had a good laugh about me panicking and hanging up.

Wow! It hit me like a lightning bolt. What a concept! lol

To think before I speak. To think about the repercussions before I say or do something that I
will regret. It's just been one of the little light bulb moments I have had on my spiritual journey.

Today I will try to take pause and respond to life and not just react without thought.
