Learning to Think Differently

Hello!

I would like to thank all the people for the helpful tugs across this bumpy road.

I have been so grateful that there are people out there that can help me through this. I got to keep my son today, and he is keeping me on my toes.

A new life can't be built in a day. I must take it slowly and one day at a time. I need to take baby steps now. I have to learn to think differently. I need to get used to sober thinking instead of alcoholic thinking. Most of us know, that has tried this before, that the old alcoholic thinking is apt to come back on us when we least expect it. This new way of life is a slow process, but I know it can be done.I am building a new life starting off with my foundation of sobriety. On this foundation of sobriety, I can build up to a life of honesty, unselfishness, and faith in my HP, and love others.

I may never fully reach these goals, but the adventure of building this kind of life will be fun and tough. I believe that it has to be better than the up and down of my old drinking life. There will be no comparison. This blog and the friends I have made here is my way of getting sober, but I believe that in time my readers and tuggers will show me a new aspect on life and a new way of living. I have become honest with myself and to all my readers.

I pray daily for faith, for it is God's gift to me. God gives this to me in my prayers, because it is a necessary weapon for me to have. I need this so I can overcome all the adverse conditions, and the accomplishment of everything good in my life. Therefore I will have to work hard to strengthen my faith, but with the help of my HP this will be easier to do.

Thanks for tugging on my wagon over these hills. Keep the tugs coming.
