Drinking and under the influence
and having poison running thru
every part of my body gave me
a distorted view of myself. My
selfworth.
It wasn't until I got all those toxins
out of my mind, body and soul and
received some good information about
my addiction and learned a program
of recovery was then that I began to
see clearly and view myself as a person
with worth.
I am worth it. I am a good person inside
and out because I am sober with no poisons
or controlled substance inside me to think
otherwise. That to me is totally freeing.
The fogged glasses came off and everything
I see in the mirror looking back at me is all
good. I want to treat others with care and
consideration even if its not returned like
I would want it to be.
All that matters is that I learn how
to remain sober using a program
of recovery of steps and principle
as a guideline for all areas of my
life each day I remain sober or
clean.
Then in TIME as Tomsteve suggested
trust from others may or may not
come back. What matters is that
we are living a sober life and the
rest will be handled accordingly.
