Many of us codies feel/felt this way about ourselves. That is pretty typical for us. We have been put down so much by our addicts, that we tend to believe that we are not worthy.
Please don't beleive this. Repeat after me:
I am worthy
I am a nice person
I will try to believe in myself
I deserve to be happy
I will learn to like myself
That's just a few for now. But a good start. Really, I had felt that way for so many years. I felt almost ashamed to "like myself". But now, I am liking myself more each day. It just takes practice.
We love you here and believe in you.
Now, you must believe in yourself.
HUGS!!!!
