My true confession

beth · April 2nd, 2009, 12:31

Fifteen months ago my life was a train crash waiting to happen and i was to ashamed to tell the truth of how bad it was and i could not even look at my self. I felt haggard and ugly and very ashamed and addicted to alcahol and cigarettes that i couldnt afford. I felt ashamed and guilty cos i used to be nasty and angry a lot with my family. Then i found this community and it has given me a new lease of life. I thank god and michael every day because i no longer drink or smoke and i have learned to like who i see in the mirror. Its a miracle and i feel like i have a new mind body and spirit. I never thought life could be this good or i could feel as happy and the best thing of all is to see how happy my family is now with the new beth. I'm a proud working mum now and i have lots of time and patiense with my children so if anyone feels as bad as i used to dont ever give up. Thankyou for everything michael love and best wishes to you and everyone XX

Ahh Beth, it takes a great deal of courage to want to change and I commend you on finding that courage

You should be very proud or yourself and I'm sure others are

I am so happy for you that you have changed the course of your life and that of your family's. You are not alone in having had addictions. I hope your wonderful story reaches those who have similar problems and gives them the hope and encouragement they need.

I wish you continued success, happiness and joy on your continuing journey

Hi Beth, that is a wonderful and inspiring story, I hope you are very proud of yourself. Pollyanna is absolutely right (as always!

), it takes a great deal of courage to admit to yourself that things are wrong and that it is time to start looking at what is wrong with a view to changing that.

I wish you much love, joy and peace

Beth, I'm joining the chorus! That's so great, not only that you surmounted these addictions but that you've had the courage to share your story with others. It's the very best kind of help a person can give!

May you continue to discover the blessings that the spiritual path can bring! We each of us, one by one, make a difference!
Love
Bhavya

My life has been one of illusion, doubt, guilt, and regrets. Until I started to believe that the in order to change we must first look within ourselves, to be thankful for us first before being thankful for others. In doing meditation it has allowed me to have a bigger capacity for things that I could at one point not tolerate. It still is not easy but one day at a time.

Hi there Lorna,

as I said to Beth, it takes a great deal of courage to want to change and I commend you on finding that courage

Meditating with LifeFlow has completely changed my life as it has for many others.

By creating the habit of meditating with LifeFlow you will gradually let other habits go that do not serve you well. I look forward to hearing your progress and I wish you an abundance of peace and joy

P.S. I highly recommend the gratitude exercise - Beth has posted somewhere that she loves this also.

i have the same feeling, my english(my mother language is chinese) is so poor that can't tell correctly, completely, even though i can read. i shame for my english isn't good, i shame for everything i did isn't perfect, these feeling changed guilty, guilty feeling is bad. last month michael told me let them go. then i command them go away from me, although the passive feeling came to me occasually, now positive feeling are around me.

Beth, is one of the hardest things one can do. Kudo's to you for being honest enough to see a problem and brave enough to change direction.

Everett, Don't worry about your English. I can't even understand Chinese let alone write or speak it. You are doing fine; we can understand what you are saying.

Sweet_Iza,
Micheal is the one that owns this web site and the creator of the LifeFlow system.
