My thoughts about quitting

[Change]

I simply came to the conclusion that i will not be the person that i want to be and that i have the potential to be. 'Potential' is an interesting word, as it implies our spirits are like a human seed, with all the information we need for good living contained within.

I think that deep down underneath we know what we are capable of, so i pitch to you, have a really good look at yourself inside. Hear your inner voice and if you are still drinking, perhaps try to give up for a while so that you can hear your inner voice. I don't know where all that came from, but there's been an inner voice i've been ignoring for a while. And, what happens when we keep ignoring things? They get louder

So i implore you, give up now and listen to (HEAR) your inner voice xx.

I believe that inner voice has been with us since conception or perhaps before. I think I understand your post and happy you're hearing yours.

My thoughts about quitting

My sentiments exactly

I'm doing great now that I forced myself to listen,
and looked at the big picture instead of pretending
all the chaos was a bunch of isolated incidents.
Not at all. It was a destructive pattern of life,
with lost days increasing all the time-lost weekends,
dangerous situations,$$$$ blown and all the rest
of it. Yuk! No more for me.
Kick the Drink (book) did reinforce what I thought-
that AA is not for everyone AND I am not giving
up something; I'm GAINING my life back!

Hey, that's a really good philosophy Ann: gaining something back! Your life.

If i look deep down underneath, the reason that i drank is that i did not have the confidence to embrace the sort of life that i want and that i am capable of living. Now, i need to re-examine myself to work out what that life is. I've always wanted to write a book, or deliver a message to the Universe somehow. Now may be time to actually hone my writing skills and get going. :question2:
