I am about 90% positive now in my life. The 10% negative only applies if I am in a depression or if I am under major stress I cant handle. I wasnt always like this. I used to be a glass-half-empty kind of person and never took responsibility for my own actions. I have always been a person who likes to joke and have fun and I can be sarcastic but in a funny way- but I know I have rubbed people the wrong way sometimes. Honestly I credit sobriety for making me a positive person. I got sober 7 years ago and the way I did it completely re-vamped the kind of person I am. My husband always says that as hard as my alcoholism was its almost like he would go through it all again if he knew I would end up being this kind of person.
I am the kind of positive person that nauseates you. I don't tell depressed people to "think positive" or act corny, Its all because of hope. I learned that nothing is hopeless and I can get through the worst of times and come out on the other side.
I choose to look at mistakes as lessons. I learn from my mistakes now and am able to mostly correct my behavior- and apologize when I do wrong. Because of what I have been through- growing up abused-addiction-and this situation with my daughter I have no time or desire to dwell on the past or give up.
