This I know ...
I am a kinder and gentler person. I am less dismissive and much less judgemental, I no longer know how the world should be ruled but I do know how to rule myself.
It was tough to learn but I had to learn how to say "no" to myself as in "no, you can't drink." I was way less accepting of that than I was of "no you are just stupid" or "no, you will never be able to do that". Eventually I listened to my own talk and I decided to simply run the show myself instead of my AV doing it.
It worked.
I also now know that what people tell me is more true than my perceptions or, at the very least, they might be on the right path. I am calmer. I am perhaps approaching serene, I am indeed positive in my outlook.
This I know is good stuff about a person and that it happens to be about me thrills me.
This I know can continue to be me if I forge on with sobriety. And I'm brave enough to type it and send it out on SR and Let It Be.
