Joy Stealers

[MajestyJo]

Like this, if you are not enjoying recovery, what are you doing wrong? You are given a second chance at life, why are you not enjoying it. We have freedom of choice as to what kind of day we have. We can be joyful that we are sober and enjoy each moment as it comes or we can sit on the pity pot and fill it up with all our woes and why mes.

I have to acknowledge things, but not to hang on to them, but to let them go. I have to feel the feelings, and sometimes we sabatoge ourselves and take the joy out of living.

We forget the Source, and we act out in the isms of our dis-ease. This is a family disease. It becomes I, Self, and Me and I can't see anything but all my problems. If we call them challenges instead, we can over come them. Problems we stay stuck in.

Guess I should have posted this in the other post, but joy is joy and often we don't recognize or think of it because we are focused on the negative instead of the positive.

Dread, looking into the future when it hasn't even got here yet, thinking of the worse case scenarios. Someone said, "If I do that, then I won't be disappointed." Disappointments are a way of life a feeling like all others, which we can take to God and ask for Help to deal with it. If you live in the moment and in the day, turn each day over to your Higher Power's Care, who I choose to call my God, good chance that dread and fear won't materialize. I need to stay in the moment and in the day, asking for what God's Will is for me each day.
