Change

There must

be a

change,

body,

mind,

and soul,

if the alcoholic wishes to recover from the disease.

 “Yes, there is …. Here and there, once in a while, alcoholics have had
what are called vital spiritual experiences.
To me these are phenomena.
They appear to be in the nature of huge emotional displacements and rearrangements.
Ideas, emotions and attitudes which were once the guiding forces
of the lives of these men are suddenly cast to one side,
and a completely new set of conceptions and motives begin to dominate them.”
  ~  Carl Jung

Motivate, one must want to be sober more than they want to be drunk.

Rearrange the emotions, better yet, just learn to have an emotional experience.

Develope and attitude of gratitude.

Have a brilliant idea, learn to listen to those who have been there and done that.

Conceptualize, there is a Higher Power and it is not you.

Most importantly, know that change is not a once and done effort,

it is a daily reprieve from the disease that is granted to you by the grace

of your Higher Power, and contingent upon your continued willingness to change.

Today, change the body, eat healthy, exercise, relax.

Today, change the mind, think about helping someone else.

Today, know that God made your soul perfect so that you may do His will

and He will give you the chance, it is your choice to do the next right thing.

Today, do not talk the change, walk the change.

Happiness is being told by others that they see a change in you.
