I'm a recovering alcoholic.
I'm sober today because I choose to not allow anything to cause me to drink (today), no matter how "bad" I think it is.
This is my perspective on life. I can't stop "bad" things from happening to me, I can't stop those who seek to do me harm. All I can do is choose how I will respond to it.
Someone can tell me I'm worthless, over and over again, I choose whether or not I listen to them, and how I respond, if at all.
@XSGeek Nothing is so bad that a drink won't make it worse.
