When I was younger, I often blamed others for my problems. If something went wrong, I would say it was someone else's fault. But then, I learned a different way to live, thanks to God, Al-Anon, and a wonderful sponsor.
**Meeting God**
First, I turned to God. I started to pray and ask for help. I learned that God loves me and wants the best for me. God helped me see that I could change my life by changing my thoughts and actions. When I felt angry or upset, I would pray and ask God for guidance. Slowly, I began to feel more peaceful and calm.
**Joining Al-Anon**
Then, I joined Al-Anon. Al-Anon is a group where people help each other cope with the problems that come from living with someone who drinks too much. In Al-Anon meetings, I met many kind people who understood what I was going through. They shared their stories, and I realized I wasn't alone. I learned that I couldn't control others, but I could control how I responded to them.
**Finding a Sponsor**
One of the best things about Al-Anon is having a sponsor. A sponsor is like a guide who helps you work through your feelings and problems. My sponsor was patient and wise. She taught me to look at my actions and think about how I could make better choices. She encouraged me to take responsibility for my life and stop blaming others.
**Taking Responsibility**
With the help of God, Al-Anon, and my sponsor, I started to change. I began to see that my thoughts and actions were my own. If I made a mistake, I learned to admit it and try to do better next time. I stopped saying, "It's not my fault," and started asking, "What can I do to make things better?"
**Finding Freedom**
Taking responsibility wasn't always easy, but it was worth it. I felt freer and happier when I stopped blaming others. I learned that I had the power to change my life. By trusting God, listening in Al-Anon meetings, and following my sponsor's advice, I found a new way to live. I found freedom.
Now, I try to live each day by taking responsibility for my thoughts and actions. I know that if I do my best, good things will happen. And if things go wrong, I can learn from them and keep going. This journey has made me stronger, and I'm grateful for the help I received along the way.
You gottawanna be free of hate seek love and peace
