I think this is an incredibly healthy attitude. No doubt it won't work for everyone, but personally, I believe that continually saying "I am an alcoholic" (or whatever else we say we are) only reinforces it and keeps attracting that to ourselves.

So brava, Michele. I'm excited for you that you've reached this point. Seems a far healthier attitude than keeping yourself chained to beliefs that don't serve you well anymore.

Time to leave the past behind and move forward.

Thanks so much for sharing this!!
