Believing in change

At first, drugs or booze turned us on; later they turned on us. We couldn't find any peace anywhere. We began turning into the kind of person we didn't want to be, but we didn't know what was happening to us or how to change.

When we came to believe that our lives could and would turn around if we quit drinking or using; things began to get better.

Do I believe I can change?

Higher Power, help me to be open minded and humble enough to believe that what has worked to change the lives of others will work to change mine.

Carol--do you write all of your posted thoughts like this one? You really express yourself in such an eloquent way. If you don't, than you certainly pick wonderful quotes.
I agree wtih dan "At first, drugs or booze turned us on; later they turned on us" --Well said!
Thank you,

Hi Laura,

I get an email everyday from Hazelden. It's a great 'thought for the day' for me and I just repost them to this board.

The url is:-

Take care,

Carol
