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's a very beautiful thing to be in a sober recovery journey.

Although I am 2 1/2 months in this and have lost my first sponsor and looking for a new sponsor hopefully by the end of the month, I'll have one that I can complete the steps with only God knows who that person is

I'm very grateful to have been sick with this disease and have this allergy. I don't have that itch or desire to water drink anymore especially with having a DWI and a probation a breathalyzer device in my car for 18 months visually that helps me understand that I'm an alcoholic.

I'm excited for the service journey. I'll be able to do in this because God knew he wanted me to help others instead of saying lie me or I'll never be like that, etc..
