What a beautiful post FD!! You are always so insightful and inspirational.
Denny, I completely understand what you mean. I think for me the feeling of worthlessness is an "emotional reality" maybe an inner child thing? not an intellectual thing. When I first went to a therapist I told her I am not sure if I have a self-esteem problem because I in my brain think I am ok, just not in my heart/emotional self.

FD, thank you for this post. I have read though it several times.
It really hit home for me that almost everything that was going on in my life was because of my thinking. I accepted the unacceptable. I lived in a world of "I can't" and "if only" I can now look back and see....
Today I am working on me, I am working on feeling the feelings I have and moving on. Before I was working on keeping myself numb and stuck.
My recovery seems to come in waves. Right now I am aware.
I read all these posts from people living with active drinking, I don't but I still have the thinking problem. When the drinking stoped the problems did not all go away.
Thank you for letting me stop and look inside myself. God will remove these character defects on his time.
