I will be positive in every thing I do today. Being positive usually allows positive things to happen

I am a great mother and friend. I am strong in my faith with my higher power. I can do anything I set my mind to, I will remain clean and sober as long as I never pick up that first substance.

These little sentances said to ourselves or posted will help us to feel better and brighten our self esteems. I have homework in my recovery kills group so I thought I would share with y'all. So lets go and post some positive affirmations. You may even help me with some I don't think of. I will start:
I am a strong person.
I have the power to stay clean.
I am a great mother.

Please join in and help me with my homework. Itmay even help yourselves see your own great qualities.

My positive affirmation.....
I believe in me.....I believe in my Higher Power

any time I come up on a challange that I normally would have turned away from I try to remember this....It makes me remember where I am and that if I want different I have to do different.

Anytime I come upon a challange that I normally would have turned away from, this reminds me that if I want different I have to do different. The payoffs are great.

My last attempt to keep this thread going!!

This will be my last attempt to save this post. I am happy it lasted this long. It was definatly a good idea at the time. It also helped me through a few storms. So with that said:

I am a good mother and friend,
I am as positive as I can possibly,
I am a good listener.

I can do anything I set my mind on,
I can stay clean and sober,
I can continue to be positive.

I will do my best with my recovery and my life,
I will remember where I came from so not to go there again,
I will live positive think positive and be positive.

I have not been in this thread for a while so I thought I would pull it up and remind myself of all the positive things in my life. I need a remember when every now and then:

I am a good mother and friend,
I am as positive as I can possibly,
I am a good listener.

I can do anything I set my mind on,
I can stay clean and sober,
I can continue to be positive.

I will do my best with my recovery and my life,
I will remember where I came from so not to go there again,
I will live positive think positive and be positive.

I need to remember I Am I Can and I Will are the most positive statements I can use to remind myself that I am worth everything God has to offer me today. I deserve a good life a great bunch of friends and a great family. Still having trouble on the family part but thats not my bad thats theres and it is there loss to. They are missing out my mother is missing seeing her granddaughter grow and turn into a beautiful young lady. My mother is missing out haveing a relationship with the now sober me. After three in a half years you would think she would start a relattionship but she is stuck so far up my sisters butt she can't see.OOPs anyway her loss.

Today I love me,
I do not hate me today.
I do the best I can and that is actually good enough.
I am stronger than I think I am.
I am not a bad person.

Positive thoughts lead to positive feelings lead to a positive life.

I when sometimes feeling down I think of all the positive things I have gained this past three and a half years and it helps me to get out of the funk.

Being and thinking positive helps me get through some of lifes tougher moments. Iam grateful I learned positive affirmations. I can remember when younger in recovery thinking this is just silly I won't talk to myself in the mirror I am not crazy. Today wheather crazy or what I do it. While shopping while laying in bed showering no matter where if I need to feel better I say some or think some positive thoughts. It's not crazy and it helps me through the tough times.

I am I can and I will look at my life in a positive way not a negitive.

i had to do these in rehab...every day i asked 10 people to say something positive about me and then i recited them in the mirror as a counselor watched...it did work
I am an intelligent woman who deserves to be sober
I am caring and loving and deserve to be loved
I can stay sober
I am a strong woman

I am sober,
I have a beautiful healthy child,
my bills are paid,
I have a appartment and a bed to sleep in,
there is food.

We so often forget how grateful we are for the bare essentials in life I try to keep it up front to remind myself I could be homeless and cold without a bed to sleep in or a roof over my head it is then when I realize how grateful I am to be alive and have a home. I thank God everyday for the smaller things in life.

Whatever is lacking today, I will concentrate on my HP instead
I know my "God hole" will always be itching for some thing to fill it
I have all I need today, everything has been provided for
If it's not here yet, it's on it's way, or was never meant to be.

Thank you Thank you Thank you
I'm still here...sober.
