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

This was beautiful and I needed to hear this today. I few weeks ago I was there asking why me? And I was angry with god. I’m 25 days sober. I’m grateful for my sobriety and my community. I stopped blaming god. I love this message, for now on why me? Will turn into a positive thought.

When I learned that I am uniquely qualified to help other single mothers who think they're "functional alcoholics", I then understood my purpose and now I don't ask "why me" as much as I used to, 5 months sober for the first time in 25 yrs
