It is heard to stop acting as I have in the past. But with Al-Anon's support, I can be the one to break the pattern. I can choose to do what I think is right - for me.
- Courage to Change
"You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life...."
- Jane SeymourIt is up to me as to whether there will be change in my life. It is up to me who must make the decision. The decision to change my life style, patterns, behaviors, people, places and things. It is up to me to make the decision to turn it over to my Higher Power. It is up to me to decide if I want to change my world. It is up to me whether I am loving, caring and kind. I can't, God can, just for today, I choose to let Him!

thanks for sharing Caressa....
"In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired." - Author unknown
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.......
Unless we become willing to accept change, our lives are like a movie being reran over and over and over again. We know the outcome, but we sit there and watch it, fall into the same pitfalls and make the same mistakes.
I think I was numb when I first found 12-step recovery.... I'd worked so hard on fixing my broken loved ones and just just wasn't working. It never dawned on me that I was the one that needed to change my life. Acceptance is the key....
Change is a challenge and an opportunity, but it's not a threat to me as a person. I have grown in so many area's of my life but I need to accept change on a daily basis. New opportunities show up at my door..... A snag in my plans may make me have to rethink how my day will go.
I am always growing and learning and even the bad changes are just lessons in disguise....
Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl
Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
Nothing changes, if nothing changes.....

When I started Reading from Caressa, I kept hearing the words..Nothing changes if nothing changes. Then I read sunnygirl and that was her last quote.
I use that often with my WW memebrs...if we always had biscuits and gravy& doughnuts for breakfast every day, we need to change that habit if we want to see results.
Change can be scary, but it is usually good for everybody to change now and then!

"In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired." - Author unknown That was how I felt when I came into recovery. When I find myself feeling that way in today, I know I need to do a Step 10, that means in the moment and not waiting for the end of the day. The best way to get out of self is to help someone else.
