Loosid Sober Tip of the Day February 14

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

It took me awhile, but instead of asking “why me”, I use “why not me”. I’ve been taught not to put a question mark, where God has put a period.

Yes I believe now, why not me. I hope to help others to have hope again

Love it.

I love this!

Yes !!!

WOW :astonished: what a great message! I also use "I get to" instead of saying "I have to". I get to a meeting, I get to go to work etc

:heart:

Perhaps I was presented with the gift of recovery to show the individual next to me that it is possible.
