We Do Recover

[MajestyJo]

Today, I will let go of my fears about trusting myself. I am willing to make decisions, no matter what the outcome may be.

The past does not dictate the future. Be willing to make
mistakes, and open to learning from them.
---------------------------------------------------------
Today, I am able to grow and change.

There are times when someone you love may not be growing and changing alongside you. You can still continue to progress,
no matter what others are not doing. To progress, we must continue, no matter what.
----------------------------------------------------------
Today, I will choose to be alive and to enjoy the everyday adventure of living.

It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile, and you can't smile and frown at the same time. Try it in front of a mirror.
You'll see.

This was received from a friend a long time ago and posted to one of my sites.

It reminds me that life is often about how I perceive myself and how willing I am to change. If I am caught up in negative thinking and think I there is nothing wrong with me or I think I am unworthy and undeserving of recovery, then I can't make a true attempt at the Steps to make the changes.

Realized this could go in either recovery section. It is important to look in the mirror, get honest, and take responsibility and take charge of my life.

Through trusting my Higher Power, I can learn to trust myself and know that I am not alone and if He brings me to it, He will see me through it.

Old post of mine posted in 2010 from another site.

Always believed in God, didn't think He believed in me, so didn't have a lot of trust that He would be on my side. Life didn't seem to be too heavenly, for the most part, it was a living h*ll. I didn't trust God, so how could I trust myself.
