I used to feel sorry for myself because my son has autism.
But now I am grateful because I am blessed with a sweet, funny, brave, highly intelligent and special son. I am privileged to know him.

I used to feel sorry for myself because I was alone, and any relationships I did become involved with would get twisted emotionally and misunderstood internally when I was drunk.

But now I am grateful because I understand now, and have managed to give not drinking and thinking this way a very real chance.

I used to feel sorry for myself because I had to face everything alone
but now that I'm sober I'm grateful to see there's people all around who want to help
and im far from alone....
and I now also always have a spiritual connection that I didnt have when I drank.

I used to feel sorry for myself because I felt as though I was worthless, but I am grateful for the chance to prove to myself that I have great worth.

I used to feel sorry for myself because I truly believed I was always at a disadvantage and life in general just had dealt me a bad hand. Now I am grateful that I wake up sober each day willing to make an effort to rise above whatever challenge I face.

I used to feel sorry for myself because I was alone. But now I understand this is something I can actually do something about.

I used to feel sorry for myself because
no one was rescuing me.
But now I am grateful because
Rescuing myself is slowly making me stronger and more confident.
