There is a common saying in AA:
"Poor me, poor me, pour me another drink."
I'm not saying that you're crying poor me. And I can relate!
I'm suggesting we look at the message in that phrase and see what there is to learn from it.
What I get out of that common saying is that WHEN I slip into the mind set of "OMG, what did I do to myself, how did I get so far from my goals?" that it can mean danger for me. Negative thinking feeds my addiction. Positive thinking feeds my recovery.
That phrase tells me, when I'm feeling "da blues" that it is important that I do whatever it takes to change my thought. Find something positive to think about. Write a gratitude list. Talk to another addict about the joys we find in recovery, and stop comparing my insides to someone else's outsides.
