We are Known for doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. Some call this addictive insanity, returning to past self-defeating behavior and thinking is a perfect example of addicitive insanity. This mind set can derail our recovery from self-defeating beliefs and behaviors. We find ourselves justifying a return to these beliefs and actions. nDiscomfort with personal responsibility or dealing with unpleasant emotions is not new to us. We deal with these emotions in several different ways, some of us turn to alcohol and drugs, some turn to food, but whatever we turn to we abuse it. We may find ourselves automatically reacting or behaving negatively to familiar situations, such as being behind a slow driver or having to wait in line when everyone should know we're in a hurry. n We may be unaware of how our behavior influences us. These automatic reactions are powerful, and we're apt to see them as simply part of us. We may believe that they are unchangeable, but changing these beliefs is possible. Not only doable, it's a vital part if you want to be successful in business, relationships, and in life. Our beliefs are in error, the serenity we seek evades us. Our belief system is responsible for our feelings and behavior. We need to change our actions and our thinking. This can be a long process, we need to get started now. n My name is Michael Rymer and I'm from the streets of Baltimore, MD. I know about all the hardships that come to play in peoples lives. I lived on the streets, homeless, stealing to survive. Sex, drugs, and alcohol were my life. I scamed and cheated everyone I could to survive, I needed a way out. I have 5 children from 3 different mothers. One child to this day doesn't even know I fathered him. ("I'm uncle Mike") This was hard to overcome and I'm still dealing with the aftermath. I lived a life of crime and drug & alcohol abuse. I served 2 prison terms. I needed a way out. I'm here to tell you there is hope. I am now off parole and beginning to put my life together. I love people and want to teach them that where they are at in their lives, (if like me) that there is hope and a new beginning. Getting off the streets was hard, letting go of all the connections I had to drugs, (which made me forget) And all the positutes, ( Life on the wild side ) it's just a joke, to confuse you, to keep you from becoming an important part of our socieity. Let me help you. Email me at wantitgetit@epix.net
