This is very true. I think that’s why it’s important to make that shift sooner rather than later. Negative thinking and low self esteem is one of the biggest forms of Self destruction, top that with an already formed addiction and you’ve got mass chaos and fear, That being said I know it’s easier said than done but with the right guidance we can see the good again in ourselves and move forward with confidence.
Some say it’s one of the hardest things to accept that your worth it when in recovery. But the truth of the matter is everyone is worth it. So long as there’s a life then it’s worth every second.
Good point its funny if someone else needed my help I of course would help them no matter what. It is strange how its so much easier to forgive others than it is to forgive yourself.
Again very true but as you probably well know that we are highly strung individuals with such high expectations of ourselves of how and what we should be, that we lose sight of self worth sometimes and concentrate on other individuals in need. It’s a form of distraction but self approval to just keep us above the level of worthlessness. As to so we don’t have to take a look inside our own selfs. It is driven by fear and anxiety but with work it does get easier.
Flightorfights has it exactly right. Don’t waste anymore life believing the worst about you. There are plenty of bullies on the playground of life who will do it for you, in effort to build lacking self-esteem at your expense. Replace those thoughts with all the good traits and abilities you possess. Forget people who can’t appreciate all that you have in you. I know whereof I speak.
The bad stuff is usually easier to believe than the good stuff!

I guess that is my biggest problem now, convincing myself that I am a good person and that i deserve a good life.
