ฮผ coming to believe ฮผ

Posted: Sat, Jul 16, 2005 01:33:31 PM

that i am a worthy human being. i know that coming to believe generally is in regards to something entirely different but for me today it has a whole different meaning.
when i got to recovery, i did not believe i suffered from low self-esteem nor that i had low self-worth. those realizations came as a result of working a few steps. and they were disturbing realizations (not one of the three) that shook my world. after a bit of consideration i discovered that they were true and that i needed more work on finding the person who i could consider worth all the work i was doing.
today after a rough week emotionally, the facts that i do make a difference and that i have worth are very important. i can see evidence in my life of growing self-esteem and self-worth and greedily hold on to them (just the evidence). so right here, right now i know that i am worthy of my Higher Power's love and i am coming to believe that i am a worthwhile person.
