Redmayne

A phrase I often use and repeat to myself daily which reflects my life before, during and in recovery, after my drinking is this, from William Knauss, one of the pioneers of Cognitive Behaviour.

'What happened to you may not be your fault, but how you think about it is your responsibility.'

I for one, I'm sure with others would enjoy reading others for those who care to participate....

Redmayne

I also like this, something that his sponsor told Clancy Imislund, a noted AA speaker, in his early days of recovery....

' If your problem is alcoholism then your problem isn't alcohol,'

Which is one of the most profound statements I've ever heard about my disease/illness, rightly making the point that alcohol is but a symptom and the main problem for someone suffering it centres in the mind...
