Emotions can be stumbling blocks, and yet they can be motivators as well. I don't want to feel this way any more. I don't want to continue to act out this way, what can I do to change it.
As the sayings go, I am granted freedom of choice. I can face everything and recovery or I can flee everythng and run (relapse), which I did for years. It was how I survived. I ran away, I was not willing to feel, and I was not willing to face reality and my own personal truth.
The most important thing for me was that I was no longer alone. I didn't have to face things alone. the people in the rooms carried a message to me. I can get through this, move to the other side, and find a new way of living.
Just because I have a thought or an idea, doesn't mean I have to act on it.
