BREAK THOSE CHAINS!

So many times we let our fears and worries stop us from being who we are. 

It is time to BREAK THOSE CHAINS and LIVE! 
BE YOU AND BELIEVE IN YOU!

WHEN LIFE THROWS YOU A CURVEBALL..HIT THAT BITCH OUT OF THE PARK!🌟

KEEP BELIEVING IN YOU AND KEEP GOING!

TRUTH...YOU ARE A BADASS! NO BS!

YOUR JOURNEY IS YOUR OWN...NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S

I remember before I started my journey FOR ME I would try to change for others.  I wanted their approval and I was so worried and scared that if I didn't I would be a disappointment to them.
I would try over and over to be someone I wasn't just to make others happy but in the mean time I was miserable.  Would I ever make that choice for me???

That time came in 2014 when I decided to make those changes FOR ME.  I had to be ready....I had to make that decision to change and I NEEDED to take that first step for me.

Having others be proud of you and be happy for you is an amazing feeling BUT if that is your main reason for changing than your not doing it for you.  You HAVE to look deep inside yourself and make that choice to take that first step in your journey.

This past year and a half has been full of ups and downs but knowing that I made that decision to change for me is so rewarding and fulfilling.  My journey is not over and not everyone will understand it but that's okay....it is mine NOT theirs.

18 MONTHS SOBER!

18 MONTHS SOBER!!!
I remember that day that I first walked into a meeting...I was so scared and wanted to run. I had no idea what was in store for me and I didn't know what I was going to do with the feelings and emotions I had bottled up for years.
The first 6 months were very hard...I was angry, frustrated, confused and cried. I didn't want to deal with the feelings and emotions coming out...all I wanted to do was grab a drink to numb myself...but I didn't.
There are days I am okay and there are days I struggle...but I have to remember why I walked into that meeting and I have to remember how far I have come.
I am an alcoholic and I CAN do this...one day at a time!

"MY WHY"...TAKING THAT FIRST STEP

BE SOMEONE ELSE OR BE YOU??? THE CHOICE IS YOURS

So many times I have been afraid of being me.  I worry about what people think and what people would say.
The "IF ONLY'S" would creep into my mind and I would try so hard to change to be the person others thought I should be.  I would focus so much on what everyone else wanted and what others were doing that I was losing sight of who I was.  I would get frustrated, angry and cry wondering what was wrong with me.

I would see what others were doing and tried to be like them...jealously and envy started to cloud my mind and all I could think about was what I needed to change about myself that would work.  The more I tried to be like someone else...the more I was stopping me from being who I was...my mindset sucked!

I am starting to realize that the only person I can be is ME!  I am one of a kind and a daily work in progress.  All I can do is be better that I was yesterday and keep going for my dreams and follow my heart.

I CHOOSE TO BE ME...I DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!

What do you choose???
