despre mintea intortocheata care despica firul in patru

Se intampla sa auzim la intalniri lucruri pe care nu le intelegem. Cateva explicatii:

What they say:                                 What is means:                               What it doesn’t mean:

It’s all about you	Put your recovery first if you want to stay sober	You are better than everyone else and we should follow you
It’s not all about you	Stop thinking about yourself all the time	You’re insignificant and unimportant in the equation
Live in the moment	Don’t worry about drinking tomorrow or tonight. Focus on staying sober right now	Blow off commitments and don’t make any plans
Recovery requires planning	Learn what you can and cannot do sober, learn triggers	You need to learn Excel and prepare a spreadsheet if you want to succeed
Be of service to others	Stop thinking about yourself so much	Do everything others ask you without question
Put yourself first	If you don’t get and stay sober you’re risking everything	Your needs are the only ones that matter
Trust your instincts	Quiet your mind and find a peaceful answer	You should drink if your instincts tell you to do so
Don’t trust your instincts	Your best thinking got you into your current situation, try something different, anything different	You know nothing
Be honest	Begin practicing telling the truth	Hurt another’s feeling with harsh words/opinions
Restraint of tongue	Just because you think it doesn’t mean you need to say it, keep you mouth shut for a while	Silently let others treat you like a doormat/poorly
Find the truth	Look for the loving solution	Your truth is everyone’s truth, make sure everyone knows your truth
Fake it till you make it	Keep positive and grateful for what you do have	Lie to others about how good it is
It’s a disease	You have a choice to work at your recovery or not	You are stuck with your life as it is today and it’s not your fault

(sugestie: a se folosi TRANSLATE din dreapta!)

"Jerk-brain" (egoul) poate gasi oricând o interpretare care să răspundă nevoilor sale bolnave.

"Sane-brain" (sinele) bâjbâie si se întreaba dacă "a primi sfaturi" (cum ar fi de la un sponsor sau grup sau o carte) este "un semn de slabiciune" soptit de "jerkbrain" la ureche.

De multe ori aceste 'surse externe' care ma sustin ii dau Sinelui puterea de a ma pastra pe drumul cel bun.
