Obviously i rely on HP/God for guidance, not being an 'idiot' anymore hehe but having choices has given me a new freedom...
And yeah i feel different about people now and see things in a very different light...

There are things you can't control in life, but there are things that you can, and I want to have some sense that I can rely on myself to take control of those things. I've drifted in a sea of helplessness my whole life, and while alcohol killed the pain of that state, it never helped me out of it. And I really really want to get out of it.

Understanding. I used to walk around not understanding anything.
I like a book my first sponsor gave me. Feel the fear and do it anyway. So your sponsor nailed it. Its about choices. Nice topic. Thanks.
