"It all works out in the end...if it hasn't worked out yet, it's not the end."
This is one of the truest quotes I've heard yet. I can't tell you how many times I've stressed and worried about something I was sure wasn't going to work out, only to eventually realize that in the end it all worked out just fine. Sometimes it took months, other times years, but of all the things I've obsessed about, nearly all of them worked out in the end. The key is waiting for the end.
Before recovery, I was more focused on the middle than the end. I was addicted to drama and was sure that all the negative things in my life would only get worse. I secretly liked being a victim and when something started to work out, I quickly pointed to other awful things that were, or could be, happening. As you might imagine, my life never got any better.
When I entered the program, I was sure that it, too, wouldn't work out. I spent many months trying to convince anyone who would listen why my life would end in disaster. Their answer was always the same - keep coming back. What I eventually learned was that with the right thought and actions, and with a faith in a Higher Power, things did work out in the end.
And I learned that if it hasn't worked out yet, then it's not the end.
boy how I can relate to this I used to have a friend that always said I was neurotic / a drama Queen
of course I now have a better understanding of what it means I know that I always had to be more than,, if you where sick I was sicker if you drank alot I drank more if you had problems mine could top it and I could always come up with why my life would "never ever change" ( man am I Glad I was wrong) ever met an alcoholic that was Happy to be Wrong ?
well if your new stick around and take the steps with a sponsor as they are in the book of Alcoholic Anonymous and you could be the next Happy to have been Wrong alcoholic
I think that at times if it wasnt for negativity and drama I wouldnt have been happy you know like if something wasnt wrong then life was not ""normal""
I guess it was like if somethin aint goin wrong then somethins WRONG!
if life wasnt turmiol then it just didnt feel right oh and on top of it all was me I could handle the turmiol cuz I was in control
MAN oh MAN !! what a way to NOT live
life is much better since I was lead to A.A. (I used to say since I found A.A.) But I know now that I was lead here by GOD ! because HE IS IN CONTROL it took me a long time to get that and I still take it back at times but I Know that HE does a much much BETTER job than I ever could
I`ve learned that If I worry and obsess less I`m more at atease and less neurotic I`ve learned to try (most of the time
but I still can have the morethans
