Hello everybody! I hope everybody is doing good today. Today I'm going to share with you 2 leasons I learned in my first year of sobriety. Before I begin this blog will talk about religion some.
The first lesson I learned is (there is no one to blame for my addiction or where I'm at now but myself)! When I first got sober I was making excuses for myself and blaming everyone else for where I'm at right now but myself. It's no ones fault that I didn't have a job at the beginning of the year and that I'm now doing any job i can find. This year I've done manual labor and deliveries. Some of the jobs I've been doing wouldn't be most peoples first choices but I have to do what I have to do to make money. This year I probably worked the hardest I've worked in my life. When doing brick laying I'm lifting thousands of pounds a day but I dug myself into this hole and it's my responsibility to do whatever I can to get myself out of it. It's no ones fault but myself that I made myself unemployable. I would say to god all the time "why me?" "Why did I have to end up like this?". The thing is though it didn't have to end up like this. I could've just not done drugs to begin with and I might have had a better job or didn't burn bridges with people. But I made the decision to do drugs. No one forced me. I could've said NO when I was asked the first time but I didn't.
The second lesson I learned is that "god doesn't put obstacles in your life that you can't overcome". I realized I've overcome more than most have in their life. I've survived 2 comas and overdoses and I'm still alive. I've gone from have no job to working. What I started thinking was that god only puts obstacles in your life that he knows you can handle. If he knew I couldn't handle 2 comas, addiction and being jobless he wouldn't have put these things in front of me to overcome. All of these have made me a better person and shows that I can overcome just about anything. AND SO CAN YOU!!!
