”Until you are at peace with who you are,
you’ll never be content with what you have.”
Denis Mortman

I
am the one and only me. Only I can truly understand myself. To thine own self
be true. Statements like these can be really frustrating in our early
recovery. For myself I know I had serious doubts about who I truly was. What
aspects of my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality came from the core of my
being and which of them stemmed from my addictive behaviours.
I
came to a realization after much internal debate. Who I had been in the past
and what I had done had no bearing on who I was going to become in recovery.
This basically gave me the freedom to say that starting from today; I will be
what I want. Here is a blank piece of paper, now draw a picture, write out
the words, whatever, to determine who I am. I have the liberty to decide what
things I want to keep and those I want to throw away.
My
ability to be at peace with myself is improving. If there is some part of me
that I am not happy with, I have the power to stop it, change it, or give it
to my Higher Power.

Affirmation
I am
the person I want to be and I can decide what aspects of my past I bring
forward with me today.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
