what can i do for my sobriety today?
try and focus on the positive things that i am able to accomplish. not thinking about green elephants by focusing on the purple turtle.
remind myself that G-d loves me UNCONDITIONALLY! i find that the days that i daven and learn well, with the perspective that NOW im a good person and okay, are just as damaging as the days that i dont do so well and beat myself up.
get out of myself. call someone. not even to talk recovery. sometimes i find it better to call someone without the struggle in mind (forgot the pink elephant yet?) just to say hi.
learn something just 'cause.
i used to look back all the time saying "oh no! what have i done! Hashem help me erase the past." and i never heard a response.
finally i started looking forward saying "Hashem i'm leaving the past to you and i'm forgetting all about it. help me have a good future. help me from here and on be the person You want me to be." and that's where i realized Hashem had been waiting to help me all along
