Hey is it just us three here that believe if we continue to say it we will believe. Come on everyone it works trust me. I have been a miserable person all my life. The only time I lived was under the influence and still I would not call not walking scraping my knees and waking up to someone I don't know fun !! With my groups this forum and positive affirmations I am happy. I can look outside and say wow what a nice day befor I shut the damn window and did not care.

I truely believe positive affirmations work.
I can and will continue to be positive.
I love me for me and if nothing more am greatful to do so.
I can eat better and live a better life style.
I am a good friend.
I will stay in recovery because I am truely worth it today.

Of course I don't mind.... That was my affirmation and I don't want anyone else to use it....
That is why we are here.

Today I will detach myself from my addictive mind and will be as close to a TRUE sharing person as I can be.

I am I can I will

I must say these in evryday life to keep me with an open mind, and with a positive out look.
I have found that saying these positive afirmations I am living in a different way. I am more accepting of myself and others.
I am more happy. I don't dwell on what I dont have but cherish the things and qualities I do have. I truly believe they can work if you believe they will.

I am a great person to others and myself.
I can like myself for who I am.
I will continue to say positive afirmations because they work in my life.

I know that some of you may think they are corny or you just think they don't work. Just give it a chance. Make yourself every morning for a week come in and post as many positive things you can think of and see how you feel at the end of the week. You must believe what you write to don't just write it. I would like to know if it works for others as it has for me. Lets have a little survay.LOL. Now I am being corny.

Here's my list...

I am a lovable person.
I believe that my Higher Power, who I call God, loves me.
I will be granted the energy and motivation I need to do positive things in my life.
I have good friends and I can become even closer with them.
I am grateful for my appearance and am taking care of my body.
I LET GO of my will and turn it over to God.

Thank you, ladies, for this thread.

Today I will NOT take it personally if very few people come to the woman's meeting. I will not cry if no one shows up...:cry3:
I have to remember that is not all about me...

Excerpt from Believing in Myself:

May 17
Our unconscious is like a vast subterranean factory with intricate machinery that is never idle, where work goes on day & night from the time we are born until the moment of our death.
—James Harvey Robinson


Not only do we all talk to ourselves, but we do it all the time. On a deeper level of consciousness than “Where did I put my glasses?� we ask & answer questions, weigh information & test different opinions. Our self-talk reinforces our reality to the extent that our entire self-concept & the esteem, or lack thereof, that flows from that concept is continuously re-created.

Affirmations are simply statements of positive truth. When we "do" affirmations, we take charge of that critical inner dialogue. By telling ourselves, "I am worthy even when I make a mistake," we legitimize that valid opinion whether or not we "feel" worthy at that moment. If we face ourselves in the mirror & say, "I am a lovable, competent person" we might hear an inner voice saying, "Who are you kidding?" But just the verbal expression of the positive self-definition enters an authoritative new voice into the inner dialogue.

Someone has said that affirmations are the quickest, least-bloody form of "brain surgery" ever devised. Of all the tools for self-rescue, what could be simpler or easier to use than affirmations?

I will use affirmations to reinforce realities that I know but don’t yet feel.
