We have come to the point that we believe in and accept ourselves, and we have done this in part by doing a self-appraisal, a performance appraisal.
To do that, we have had to be honest, open, and willing to look at ourselves, to make changes in our lives.
On top of that, we have gained courage to move forward, and through that, have developed our ability to be humble.
We have learned how to offer forgiveness, and we have begun to feel emotional peace.
Now that we have come to all of these beliefs and realizations, we have learned to treat ourselves with compassion and kindness.
If we have made it this far, to the place that we are beginning to love ourselves and practice all the things I have mentioned, then we have begun to have hope.
We are now moving from hopelessness to hope. All of this is helping our sobriety, helping us stay sober, one day at a time.
It is my deepest wish that you are following along, and are beginning to dawn hope in your heart. That is the purpose of the links in today’s post, to remind yourself of where we have been, and to revisit any, if necessary. May you find hope in the pages.
