I believe that many of us here feel low self esteem, especially when fighting the addiction/disease of alcohol. It is an esteem killer to have been beaten by a liquid drink (alcohol).
I also think that many of us are very sensitive people feeling everything that our world has to offer. I did some searches & found some good links:
The Trouble With Self-Esteem - The New York Times Dr. T. Berry Brazelton on Self-Esteem, Discipline and Learning From Your Kids - Well Blog - NYTimes.com Amazon.com: Self-Esteem: A Proven Program of Cognitive Techniques for Assessing, Improving, and Maintaining Your Self-Esteem: Matthew McKay, Patrick Fanning: Books This looks like a great book! I may pick this up.
urlm.in/cooe This also looks good.
Lastly, I find doing good things for others & volunteering are great self esteem boosters.
Let us know how you are feeling, take care :ghug3
