I believe....

I believe in surrounding myself with people who treat me like a grown up capable of making my own decisions about my life.

I believe in treating other adults like grown ups capable of running their own lives.

I believe I deserve to be treated with respect.

I believe I should treat others with respect.

I believe that I am in charge of my life. If it is not going the way I want it to, I should not depend on someone else to change - I should change.

I believe that dying is not the worst possible thing that could happen to me. Not living is the worst possible thing.

I believe that I can do anything I want to do badly enough.

I believe work is important and that fun is just as important.

I believe that I'm not always good at a lot of things. But I am very good at trying.

I believe I am smart enough to decide what I want and strong enough to go get it.

What do you believe ?

Perfect Lorelai, and oh so true.
Most of us spend way too much time dying inside and not enough time moving on to our next good thing.

I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WHO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN BE OR WILL BE OR ARE. If you believe in yourself, have visions, you will not only make it through this hard stage but you can even move mountains.

Believe in yourself!

I believe there is a better, healthier way of living for myself.

I believe my HP will lead me to my soul mate when I'm ready, and healthier.

I believe I will be happy again and be more willing to take care of me!

Thought-provoking topic, Lorelai!



I believe that feelings are not facts.

I believe what my sponsor often tells me, that "our perceptions are our reality".

I believe that hurt people hurt people.

I believe in the transformative power of recovery.

I believe that love heals.

I believe that the Higher Power is NOT fear.

I believe that my Higher Power will do for me what I cannot do for myself... if I will only let Him/Her/It.

I believe that my life becomes unmanageable when I forget what I'm powerless over and I start trying to control the uncontrollable and manage the unmanageable.

I believe there is a difference between surviving and living.

I believe that I am worthy of the good things in my life today.

I believe that I am worthy of love.

I believe society has confused love with sick neediness.

I believe there are no coincidences.

I believe that, as I give to the world, so the world gives to me.

I believe feelings can never be "wrong".

I believe that no feeling is ever going to kill me.

I believe I am powerless over my first thought, but not over what I choose to do with that thought.

I believe I will go to a meeting!

Peace!!!
