OLD MESSAGES

What is it that we, as addicts, say to ourselves when something good happens?

"Don't talk about it."

Why?

"Because it will go away."

What is it we say to ourselves when something bad happens?

"I knew this would happen; things aren't ever going to change; why do I even try?" (Or something similar to this.)

Does this sound familiar?  It was the message that played in my head for years.  I was afraid to share anything positive (and sometimes negative) happening in my life.
