The wolf that wins is the one you feed

Read this old proverb today and thought I'd share

"There is a battle of two wolves inside us. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, lies, inferiority and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth. The wolf that wins is the one you feed."

This was shared by someone else in recovery that also mentioned; "Be authentic: Get to know the real you. And get to know your ego. They are two VERY different facets of all of our characters."

I know for sure I've blurred the lines between my ego and the real me. My real voice is calm, patient, caring, kind, and truthful. My ego is angry, resentful, impatient, unforgiving, critical, needy and dishonest.

I like the real me and I'm pretty sure everyone else does too. We can all be free if we choose to be. None of us ever has to drink again.

Never give up. IWNDWYT.
