Change gon come

In this world today we get so wrapped up in being everything instead of who we are. I have fears, am I not a man because I am not afraid to admit that? I think we are truly weak when we are afraid to admit our times of weakness. Yesterday was my first time back in A.A in two years, I am an alcoholic. I thought that by confessing to this weakness it would make me soft, I thought it would make me look abnormal because I could not indulge in the same things everyone else could, but if saving my mind and body makes me a "weirdo" I'll be that. This is the first step I am taking to become a better person, my second step is denying any negative that people try to bring my way with the confidence and strength that I know who I am, and the arrogance that nothing can bring me down because I love the person I see in the mirror.I was afraid to let liquor go because I would be alone and for the first time since I was a kid alcohol made me feel something even if it was numb to my own pain.Letting this addiction go will leave a void no doubt, but it will also lead me to many clear opportunities to discover my new life.Let go of your past and focus on your present,the positivity we hold now will always make tomorrow a better day.
