Great post Madisgram . I'm 88 days Sober today and have been attending AA meetings three times a week. I can agree that my AA life has made me look at so many things differently. I have so much to learn still. I've only really started working the steps. (I'm on step two now). But I'm happy about this jounrey. For a long time I would just drink everything away because I was afraid. So being drunk was my armor to shield me from life and the pain life bought me. It took me a very long time to admit that I had a serious problem. I started young and when I lost full control I had to be between 19-21, so I told myself who didn't drink at that age. Now that I'm honest (thanks to AA), I know I was an Alcoholic from the day I picked up (15yrs old). Well anyway I rambled a bit, sorry . I loved the quote you posted above.

"Life is about living, loving, learning and of course laughter. Living life on life’s terms has much to do about our attitude toward our life. Do we choose a positive attitude or invite misery? Do we choose change or stay in our old comfort zones even if they are unhealthy for us? What thoughts do we hold and keep our attention on? Yes, we have the choice at any moment to make changes in our life if it’s not working for us.
Our life is all about change and choice. Within each of us is the ability to create and live the life intended for us. We only need make the changes and choices that are truthful, honest and right for our own life. As we learn to accept changes that come about and learn new skills to walk through change, we have the opportunity to create and live a life of love, peace, serenity and happiness"

Thanks for sharing!! And hope all is well
