I have this on my fridge as my daily reminder that it’s me I need to change
It’s important to understand why things have happened to you in your life, but don’t stop there. Take the next step beyond why to ask the how questions: “How can I get better at what I’ve failed at so that I don’t fail again?”
THE GIFT OF BONDING
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 63
Many times in my alcoholic state, I drank to establish a bond between myself and others, but I succeeded only in establishing the bondage of alcoholic loneliness. Through the A.A. way of life, I have received the gift of bonding—with those who were there before me, with those who are there now, and with those yet to come. For this gracious gift from God, I am forever grateful.
I like this one, got to keep an eye out for them triggers 🙂

It is important to stay away from ‘trigger’ people and places. These old influences can ‘trigger’ an overwhelming desire to use: bars, pot smoking, using friends, drug parties, cocktail parties, dealers, angry relatives, liquor stores, concerts, etc. We each need to determine our personal ‘triggers’ and stay away from them.
Divine Intelligence helps me honestly identify and stay away from my ‘triggers.
