During the course of my betterment I decided to quit drinking alcohol. It
was terrible for my health as well as my relationships with my wife, my kids,
and my friends. What I did find is that it was extremely difficult to change my
habitual patterns considering I had been doing it for 20 years or so. I thought
o’crap I’m an alcoholic, what do I do from here. I started an outpatient
program for alcoholism, where I learned some tools in dealing with my habitual
self. A lot of this training was through the alcoholics anonymous book, but in
general it was thoughts and concepts on managing your mind, and they work in
other areas of life as well. Being the philosophy focused person I am, I really
appreciated this way of thinking and still do to a point, minus any god implications.
I rook this journey as a betterment of my mind and body it allowed me to focus
in areas I hadn’t been able to focus before. So I added Bill W. to my list of
admired philosopher and thinkers. He might not be of philosophic pedigree, but
his did expand on a great way to gain control; of your mind and focus on your personal
development....5.....
