my daily reflections…

i do not hold anyone accountable for my alcoholism other than myself. in the past, i often sought out excuses to justify my drinkin, blamin external factors for my choices. however, through my journey of recovery, i have come to understand that it is my responsibility to utilize the tools of recovery to achieve emotional stability. while there have been moments when i have unwittingly stepped into turmoil, i recognize that i have the ability to create chaos more swiftly than anyone else. as i navigate the various experiences life presents, i realize that i have the power to respond with composure and clarity. my actions significantly impact those around me; when i exhibit hostility, i invite hostility in return, but when i approach situations with a calm and rational mindset, i foster a similar atmosphere in others. ultimately, my behavior and thought patterns are mine to manage, and i must own that responsibility fully. 1 day @ a time…
