Living With This Disease

[roverl0616]

I have this disease which will kill me sooner or later — if I don't change my thinking and acting and I am powerless over me having this disease. I can admit that I have it and surrender to the fact that this disease is the reason I have gotten myself into so much trouble in my life. It's by having this disease that causes me to be self-centered, and insecure. Before I got into Recovery I didn’t know how to have a real friend or even how to be a friend to myself because of having this disease. From the program of recovery I've learned that I am worthy and lovable, and very capable of being a friend to anyone and it's by me knowing this is what keeps this disease from now being able to kill me from now on.
