You Must Learn To Control Your Emotions
My thoughts will make me or break me.
When I was drinking, my foremost
thought was liquor. Do I have enough
to last me the day. I better go buy
another bottle, hang, I don't have
enough money, I better borrow some
or con someone out of it. Thoughts
effected my morals and created an ego
that just wasn't me. I was just a
simple drunk, not this sophisticated
guy that my ego developed for me.
Thinking back on it all, I probably
never went to God for help, because
I liked my character defects to much,
to even think of a higher power. I
knew that my drinking and druggie
friends did not hang out with people
that didn't use and God would only
disapprove of us, so he was not
invited to the party.
Now being a sober alcoholic veteran
and having surrendered my will over
to God, I have help in changing those
thoughts that enter my mind at will,
it seems. When I become aware of
those kind of thoughts, I now can
change them immediately, this keeps
me sober and my morals as they
should be.
Life is improving hour by hour and
most of all, I sleep well at night
knowing I did my best today.
