Is the glass half empty or half full? I can tell you in my active addiction the glass was always half empty! My family didn’t care about me enough or they were to meddling. My job didn’t realize how important I was. The women in my life were not appreciative or way to clingy. If it wasn’t for bad luck, I would have no luck at all. Why does he get all the breaks. And on and on and on…
I not only needed to be detoxed from the substances in my body, I needed to be detoxed from the toxic thought patterns I had developed in my life. I could clean myself up physically and did numerous times. Yet my negative thoughts always stayed.
In the Big Book it states we will be rocketed into a 4th dimension. For me that 4th dimension has been the change in my attitude and perceptions of life, not only is my glass half full but most days my cup runneth over. As I worked thru the steps and cleaned up my side of the street the other side of the street started to look brighter. As I allowed people to care about me and help me, my relationships with others became significant not bothersome. When I honestly looked inside and saw my part in the spilling of the glass, it became possible even in the most tring days to see the goodness in a day.
