Light the darkness
Find some way to be thankful for your troubles. For it is a great way to start moving beyond them.
Gratitude is always a powerful place to begin. Find something for which to be thankful, and you'll discover a valuable way to move positively ahead.
Being resourceful does not mean that you have more resources than anyone else. Being resourceful means that you're able to see and to make full use of the resources available to you.
That's especially important when obstacles, troubles, frustrations and tragedies threaten to overwhelm you. Look at those troubles not with dismay, but with gratitude for the value that you know is there.
Yes, it may seem strange to be thankful for your difficulties. Yet it certainly beats the alternative, which is to let those difficulties get the best of you.
Have the courage and the insight to practice gratitude, even when things are at their darkest. And it will shine a positive, empowering light on even the most difficult situation.

My sponsor sent me this...talk about changing my perception. Let me encourage you with one final thought: disillusionment is a good thing. It is grief over the ending of some of our illusions, and isn't a commitment to reality, no matter the cost, what this recovery thing is all about?!? Clarity comes from seeking it.

i think the key word is to " admit" who of us cares to admit anything. the steps teach me a new way to live. actions to practice in all areas of my life. the first step teaches me to practice admitting my part, my wrongs, and see what is my part. the first step makes life simple. goes right along with the serenty prayer. the serenty to accept things the way they are not as i would have them. and challanges me to see the truth, the things i can change. Me. not you or the gods. so when someone says "you this and you that". admit my part and walk on. i have no power over others, institutions. the gods or myself if i pick up a drink or drug. not any of my business if it is yours, or the gods. all i need to do is admit it. the short version. "fuck it"
