Hey There!
Life will continue. People will make a point of not liking me!
People will act rudely and insensitively!
My love interest will not love me.
ABCs have made it all much more manageable and survivable.
I cannot control what happens and I can reduce a bit of my reaction - especially over-reaction.
That comes from the REBT of SMART Recovery.
This I believe!
I is not so important what I believe as it is THAT I believe!
In something, in anything - a belief that gives me hope and direction.
I prefer the possibility of SMART over the inevitability of AA as regards human behaviour - particularly when I find myself subject to a compulsive, unhelpful addictive behaviour (which just about everyone does, at some point).
In an ABC and JAMMED SLOP I find refuge from a vagary of my very human behaviour.
