"The universe is transformation; our lives are what our thoughts make it."
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

The power of our thoughts is astounding, and my negative thoughts kept me in chains for many years. I was constantly thinking of what was not right, what I didn't do right, what needs of mine went unmet. My life was miserable by my own making. My own thoughts kept me in a prison of negativity. The only person who had the key was me. For many years I stayed locked in, not knowing the key was in my possession..
When I came to the program I learned that I had responsibility for my "side of the street." I finally
came to understand that I was able to change my thinking, one day at a time. It was a slow process. It took a
life-time to learn negative thinking patterns, and it took years to learn positive thinking patterns. Using the
tools of the program was the key to re-educating my mind. At meetings I heard positive statements that others made about themselves and me. Reading program literature was always a positive
experience. As I chose nurturing, loving sponsors, they affirmed me and my baby steps toward wholeness and healing. All of these, and other tools, worked slowly to bring about an awareness that I held the key to my own prison door and gave me the courage to take the key and free myself from negativity..
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will choose positive thoughts and actions that bring me freedom.
