Thursday 'Thinking' Chip

[~graced~]

vulgar, immoral, trashy thinking/high-minded, spiritual, clean thinking

Even in sobriety, my thinking problem has been a long time in changing. That little 'Think, think, think' slogan gets rewritten for me and I've had wiseperson praying for YEARS that G-d would remove my brain.
I cop a think way too often.

I will say that my first thought is a whole lot less hostile and less angry/resentful/mean.....much more tolerant and much more likely to be loving and compassionate than ever before. But....if people knew what went on in this brain--they'd be scared....LOL I'm chronically correcting my thinking.

I have a thinking problem.....and suiting up, showing up and working the steps have resulted in G-d being gracious enough to change a whole LOT of that thinking.

Obviously, I ain't fixed yet.....

what an awesome chip! I can remember a time my best reply or response was a nasty comeback. Today I THINK before I speak. I think the best hint that I can give on it..before I speak and say soething unkind, i ask myself...
SELF>>>do you RAELLY want to have to make an amends to this person later for what you really want to say to them???"
usually NO...so I keep quiet.

Spiritual thinking gets me in a much better place today. Instead of how I want to get back at somebody, I think how I can help them. I even PRAY for my 'enemies".
