THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You are, you are, you are. How many times have you heard about what, who, how YOU ARE? How many years have you allowed other people, society to define your being? Being in recovery gives you the opportunity to drop what you have been told you are and start defining YOURSELF. You are more than the lists and lists of apparent defects you have. You are more than any label that has been strategically pasted to you…drug addict, alcoholic, over eater, gambler, co-dependent, adult child of an alcoholic. You are more than troublesome, selfish, traumatised, depressed, bipolar, anxious. Underneath the layers and layers of sticky labels there’s this pure human being, with the potential to light up the world with your gifts and talents. This person that you are is unadulterated, has choice, can be free. If you didn’t have those labels who would you be? When you stop running from yourself who are you? Imagine! I am…….I am…….I am……..
