Sometimes, we get overwhelmed.
Happens to even the best of us.
The problem is that historically, I would get drunk when overwhelmed.
And I did not want to get drunk anymore.
So, I had to find a way to keep the overwhelm to a minimum.
It's been 17 years since I had my last drink, so that's not as big of a concern as it used to be. But still, getting overwhelmed can knock me down, and I'd rather avoid that. I'm pretty sure someone else in this community feels the same way and wants to avoid getting overwhelmed and held back from doing what they need to do.
Today, I am sharing five simple questions I picked up during my journey in recovery. These questions have helped me stay on track when dealing with tough decisions and feeling totally swamped.
Is it true?
Is it helpful?
Is it inspiring?
Is it necessary?
Is it kind?
