I spent my whole life trying to gain self-acceptance through other people.... How crazy is that?! Lol. If I just do this then they will love me... Yet again making my feelings contingent upon others... Cant love anyone till u love yourself... How many times have I said that and honestly thought I was loving myself... Talk about delusional... Starting things and never finishing them because I had some better idea... Quitting because something became to hard and I didnt want to put in the work... Then Id just lie and say I did it... Why, because I didnt want people to think any less of me... A lot occurred because I could stop drinking or drugging long enough to get it Accomplished... When I first got clean and sober my 1st sponsor would tell that getting a job and my own apt would make me feel better about myself... I thought she was crazy...lol... But she was right... Every time I accomplish something Ive set a goal for it increases my self-worth... Which leads me to loving myself! Every time I tell the truth it helps me to trust myself and others... Every day I go to work I realize how important I am at my job... And its awesome!!! Ive not only become a productive member of society, Ive also became an important one... What I do matters to other people... Self-respect is such a beautiful principle to gain... Im so grateful for everyone whos loved me till I could love myself!!! And Im so grateful for those 12 beautiful steps!!!!
