Have you ever had a life-changing moment?

[CrazyRussian]

We all have those "moments of clarity" where we realize that there is something we'd like to correct in our lives. For example, "alright I have to start working harder in school" or "I have to be kinder to people", etc. Question is, have any of you ever actually said to yourselves "I want to be quit being so judgmental of people" (for example) and woken up the next day a changed person, who is in fact less judgmental of people?

Is this even possible?

I quit drinking. Clarity and self respect actually are a better cure for the blues than a depressant. Who woulda thunk it?

My pants were bursting at the seams when I quit drinking. I love the non fatty feeling.

YES....being in a place and time, where there is no contemplation and the overwhelming sense of peace and happiness to a point of pure excitement...knowing this is exactly where you are supposed to be...

Yes, I have had a few. I even had one as recently as January when I found out I was expecting. =-)

I dont get those that dont get it when that happens.

I mean, I understand the syndrome, sadly. But I just dont see how ANYONE can stay once they have been physically assaulted be they male or female.

When my best friend was murdered in 02. Actually I was messed up for a few months after drinking more and doing more drugs but reality was always there to face me when I came down so little by little I changed my lifestyle. Now I have a good life and some wonderful kids.
