Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 29

Why me vs. Why Me

Many times, people ask to themselves, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ … ‘Why did I have to be an alcoholic (or addict)’ …‘Why can’t I drink?’… Why can I not control my drinking when so many people can?’

It is incredibly important to remember, there are two ways you can approach ‘why me’

There is another side of why me.

‘Why am I so lucky to have the ability to get better when so many others don’t?’

‘Why am I so lucky that I have a disease that is 100% treatable so long as I work a program on a daily basis?’

‘Why was I able to get the gifts of the program while so many other people are sick and suffering.’

‘Why am I so lucky to change my life and live in service to others… and to the same people I used to hurt?’

Choose to pick the right ‘why me’ today. If you are reading this it means you have started your journey to build a beautiful life

Why me? Because we reap what we sow. We aren't victims. We are the perpetrators.

10 months today and I am so grateful that I am an alcoholic. Why I am so lucky to be a member among millions of others that choose to live a life full of service and love?
I am blessed to have the life I have now. I get to deal with life with a clear lense and that is beautiful!
1 year ago, I was hopeless and I would not have believed you if you told me this would be my life today!
Keep coming back, it works if you work it, and you're worth it!!!
