A list of why my life sucks and why I am not worried.

WHY MY LIFE SUCKS

1. I lost a well paying job.
2. I have a hard time finding low paying jobs.
3. I don't have my own place anymore.
4. I might lose where I am living now.
5. My family thinks I am nuts.
6. No girlfriend.
7. I am a convicted felon.
8. I have gained 30 lbs.
9. I don't have many friends.
10. I have a crummy car.

WHY I AM NOT WORRIED

1. Because, I am sober, right now.

Nice post! Keep it up, and I bet that second list gets longer while the first one gets shorter.

Just what I needed to read this morning, RUS. You just booted me into the foreign land of positive thinking. Being Negative Nancy, I read your list of "Happy's and Crappy's" and mentally noted how each could be reversed. Cool post, my friend....for a bonus laugh track -get this....reading your name, I was sounding it out like rhinocerous only with a Russ in front. Oh the world of a left handed blonde without her glasses on!

I love your strength of spirit. Things will get better - if you don't drink. Thank you for your honesty.

Your life will change for the better now that you're sober.
