Just A Thought

If we continue to believe that we were born under a bad sign - that this is our lot in life - if you had to go through this, or if this happened to you, then, and only then, you would understand why I am this way. If we continue to believe these things, a new life is futile. Most of us including myself thought we had no other choice but to use. These self-defeating attitudes just progress our spiral downwards and allows us to believe we have no choice in the matter. The truth is, alone we do not have any other choice. But when we admit we are powerless over our addiction and come to believe in a power greater than ourselves we begin to free ourselves from the bondage of self. As we make the decision to continue through the steps towards a spiritual awakening, our choices become more positive and clearer. That old frame of mind slowly slips away. We begin to believe that we do have opportunity and a chance at a good life. As long as we continue to challenge our old thoughts with new idea's found in the steps we continue to free ourselves, from ourselves. As the steps begin to clear us of our past and make room for a spiritual belief, we no longer have to use or have the need for our old excuses for what we were. Our new found belief is that as long as we do the next right thing that power we are coming to understand will always take care of us.

From Me to You.
