Changes

I have been reminded, repeatedly, today that it is much easier to change behaviors, than it is, the thoughts and feelings behind those behaviors.  For example, I stopped the behavior of using drugs and alcohol about twenty nine years ago.  That change was difficult, but not nearly as problematic as the numerous shifts in attitude, thoughts and emotions that I have gone through since then, changes that have been necessary to remain clean and sober.  As far as I can tell, the same applies to any changes in life.
