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 why me why me... sounds like resentment to self, pride to self and unforgiveness to self.

I say in jail twice in one week one was just a slap on wrist. I told God "why me? i wont do this again." He got me out with no fines and two days later well im slapped with a DWI and all the rest....

Why me i now understand and know God really had to bring me to rock bottom, so I can say why me, because God has a better future, plan for me...

I realized a few days ago why me. I realized which of my troubles were causing me to want to drink myself to death: loneliness. And I realized why I had to feel that deep loneliness: because I needed to search for God, and find him, and He has great plans for me within his kingdom.
