What we want most 3/11

There is a line in a piece of recovery literature that states: ” What we want most is to feel good about ourselves.”

When I read that the other night at a meeting I realized I had been only getting a portion of that statement.

I have always “wanted to feel good” but I was missing the “about ourselves” part.

I used drugs and alcohol…to feel good. I have made so many decisions in my life – to try and feel good.

But the key in this phrase is “about ourselves”.

My actions need to shift from “feeling good” to “feeling good about myself.”

I get it.

When I feel good about myself…everything feels good.
