Changeing Roles alcohol abuse
Alcohol has drained more blood, Hung more crepe, Sold more houses, Plunged more people into bankruptcy, Armed more villains, Slain more children, Snapped more wedding rings. Defiled more innocence, Blinded more eyes, Twisted more limbs, Dethroned more reason, Wrecked more manhood, Dishonored more womanhood, Broken more hearts, Blasted more lives, Driven more to suicide, and Dug more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world.
IN ORDER TO LEAD A CLEAN AND SOBER LIFESTYLE WE MUST BE COMMITTED TO CHANGE, BE DRUG AND ALCOHOL FREE (thinking that alcohol is not a drug has caused many an addict or alcoholic to relapse), AND WORK A 12 STEP PROGRAM ON AN EVERY DAY BASIS

RECOVERY REQUIRES ACTION, CHANGE, COMMITMENT AND WORK, BUT FIRST WE MUST BE AWARE!!!

(1) LIP SERVICE:
Is insincere statements telling other people what they want to hear. A sham to make ourselves look good. This is not a lie but more of wishful thinking
WILLING TO CHANGE
INSINCERITY TO SINCERITY
HYPOCRITICAL TO CANDID
PRETENDING TO SERIOUS
EXAGERATING TO TRUSTWORTHY
ALL TALK TO ACTION
It is action that distinguishes this sham from commitment.

(2) GRANDIOSITY:
Is the flip side of low self-esteem, over inflated sense of self, unrealistic sense of importance, talents and abilities

WILLING TO CHANGE
COMTEMPT TO RESPECT
LOUD MOUTHED TO LISTENING
POMPOUS TO HUMBLE
ACCUSING TO UNDERSTANDING
EGOTISTICAL TO CONSIRDERATE
SELF-HATE TO SELF-LOVE
ARROGANT TO ASSURED
FANTASIZEING TO REALISTIC

(3) CORNER CUTTING:
Is a form of cheating, making excuses.
WILLING TO CHANGE
EXCUSE MAKING TO ACCOUNTABLE
IRRESPONSIBLE TO RESPONSIBLE
LAZY TO ENERGETIC
UNRELIABLE TO SCRUPULOUS
SELF INDULGENT TO DISCIPLINED
LATE TO PUNCTUAL
DEVIOUS TO TRUE

(4) DEFIANCE:
Is as normal as breathing, we posses a natural will to resist authority, anyone including our Kids, Spouse, the law, anyone who tries to influence our behaviour
WILLING TO CHANGE
IMMATURITY TO MATURITY
STUBBORN TO OPEN-MINDED
ANGRY TO CALM
ARGUMENTATIVE TO QUESTIONING
RESISTING TO SURRENDERING
RIGID TO FLEXIBLE


Any fault in our behavior lies not in us but in our faulty awareness. The first and most important step to change is awarness: Am I being realistic? Am I being Honest? Am I being accountable for my actions? With this awarness we can commit to positive action and change!!!!!
