The one thing an empowered recovery must pay closest attention to is what we accept as our own personal truths....not anyone else's. We cannot help but listen to what is being said around and to us, but we can help what we will or will not accept from those words. And it pays handsomely to choose carefully.
When I hear words like can't, shouldn't, aren't, couldn't, impossible.....or you must wait until some certain time period, I put the alert flags up in my mind. Those words can keep me from where I really want to be.
It also helps to know that even negative words being offered to us are most times well intended. We don't fault the messenger....only the negativity of the messenger.
Whenever anyone tells you in recovery you must do or not do anything other than where drink itself is concerned, or that you can't be or do something, perhaps you should consider they are only telling you what they cannot do or be themselves. What we listen to and accept is what we will become. Always.
Let's do this today gang! Together there is absolutely nothing we cannot face or accomplish in one way or another. Big Hugs on Everyone....thomas
