"I CHOOSE"I have learned some things in the 25 years I have worked the Alcoholics Anonymous program and the almost 6 years I have worked the Al-Anon program. One of the most important is that I have choices. When I was in the grip of my alcoholism I had very few choices and absolutely none respecting alcohol, then I got sober. I have learned that I have a smorgasbord of choices.
SO.......
TODAY I CHOOSE:
to not drink
joy
happiness
to love myself
to take care of myself
to stand tall
hope
faith
trust
peace
serenity
to lovingly set and maintain boundaries
to accept myself as I am
to continue to work on becoming the person God intended me to be
to work on my spiritual connection to God
emotional balance
love
sanity
courage
beauty
I choose to stay out from behind the self-imposed curtain I used to insulate myself behind for so many years
I choose to live life fully center-stage

our choices define us...and we do have a choice...
You are a very strong person. Thank you for your prayers.

Nice!
Love the photo. That is one of the things that I needed to understand--I do have a choice when it comes to alcoholism and so many other things in life.
Brilliant choices and also gratitude.
thank you PG.
Love

great choices! I touched on this topic today, too. Hope you are having a good Monday morning!
How I pity those who have little or no choice. Simply, some put one foot in front of another, not knowing whence, whither...or WHY.
Blessed are those Prayer-Girl--like you--who DO know w, w, and w.
Your CHOICE list is PERFECT!
Looks like home in + or - a week.
Cutest darn monkey! Will it still be there? Do we know her/him?. Does the monkey mow grass and pull weeds? (And clean out old papers and music?)
Take care...

Choices ! oh yes! to say: " No" with no explanation- was a hard one-
and "yes", with no conditions! Thanks!
