I just read this in one of my favorite books 'Courage to Change' and todays reading really speaks to me, and I would like to share it with you:
Page 89: March 29
"It's time I started being nice to myself. The voices in my head that tell me I'm not good enough do not speak the truth;t they merely reflect the damaged self-esteem that results form living with alcoholism. When I recognize that fact, I can tell them to be quiet! I will no longer listen! Al-Anon recovery has give me gentler, loving thoughts. These remind me that I am lovable and can learn to love myself. When I open my mind enough to hear that message, I can begin to hear all the other wonderful sounds of life, and the abusive thoughts vanish. Today's Reminder: Treating myself with kindness and respect helps me to challenge my own self-criticism. Today I will pay particular attention to any voice that speaks lovingly."
Hope this encourages you, and with that,
All my Love,
Anonymous
