I have stopped buying into my excuses.
For example, rather than be miserable
and blame everything on some person, place, or thing,
I look at myself first.
Rather than blow up at a person, I call my sponsor.
Rather than judge someone who is angry toward me,
I think, "How would I like to be treated here?" --
and actually apply it,
Sometimes I don't feel I know the person in my head anymore.
I like this new one better.
