Negativity

"My life has been nothing but a failure." - Claude Monet

For years, I considered myself a complete failure. I wallowed on my pity pot until it became too painful. Whatever the payoff was, it had dried up. I was left with a rock-bottom pain that forced me to consider the alternative. Astounding! Impossible!How could this ever be? Was I forever to be a victim of alcoholism? "Not so!" I heard a voice of hope from a recovering alcoholic who had made the change. Slowly, I took steps toward recovery and healing self-esteem. I am only a failure if I consider myself a failure. I am what I create. God requires my cooperation to make miracles. Listening to those in sobriety provides the seeds for my recovery today.

God, the only real failure is not seeing You in my life.
