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

I was a big one for being hung up on, "why me?". Than I remembered my faith. I can't say, I believe my path and reason for being put on this earth, is God's will, and not included the fact that I was chosen for this journey too. Why me? Not sure, but the higher ups are! I've become a stronger, more understanding, and definitely a more at peace person. Met some awesome people too. Why me? I've got awesomeness to share, just had to get out of my own way. I'm not given anything I can't handle or grow from. Lucky me! We are blessed

I was just saying this the other day. My disease has a cure. There’s many others that suffer from ones for which there is no cure.
