A new look at old attitudes
“I can change. I can live out my imagination instead of my memory. I can tie myself to my limitless potential instead of my limiting past.”
-- Stephen Covey
I was eating lunch with a friend who shared that she disliked one of the vegetables on my plate and hadn’t eaten any since childhood. I suggested that sometimes our tastes change and maybe she could give it another try. She did, and to her surprise, she enjoyed it. Her world became a little richer as she opened to new possibilities.
Is there something in your life you might be willing to give another try?
“Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.”
-- Leo Buscaglia

This is an old post and it has been read many times and I never posted a comment and shared my own esh with regard to it.
I was postingon my site and had the thought of how the old behaviors can creep back in today and I can still go back into them. I forget that they were the result of my disease and not of my recovery.
It doesn't matter what 'substance' or 'situation' or any old habit I haven't broken, that I use in today, I still have the old thinking, some issues like more is better.

Sadly the site is no more. I no longer want to live in my dis-ease. I am so grateful for the program of recovery. I once heard a woman say, "I no longer have hissy fits." I no longer want to act out in old behaviours and patterns.

Generally if it is too comfortable, it is from my past.
