I know I deserve to be happy. But I am afraid to be happy. I don't trust happiness.

I deserve to be happy because I look horrible in anger and depression. Happiness really compliments my skin tone.

I deserve to be happy because I am a decent human being. I might not be perfect but I try to do the right thing and treat others as I would like to be treated.

I deserve to be happy, because, I really never was before. Now that I'm free, happiness is that.

I am a child of God and I have something unique to share with the world. Even though I am not exactly sure what that is yet

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I was born with an inherant communitations skills Like being fussy when unconforatable, cry when hungery and also laugh hysterisally when the experence funny.

I deserve to be happy because:
  • Because its my nature to be happy.
  • Because I need happy times to help ofset and heal from the sad times to come.
  • Because happyness can be given away freelly.
  • Because I use happyness to lift me out a vary dark hole.

I really want to get underneath this blanket of undeservedness and gather the strength to lift it away from me.
Sobriety was the first step as alcoholism was just another layer I had heaped upon my undeservedness.

I deserve to be happy because I am am putting in the time, work, and determination. I am worth it!!! I only have this one life, and I refuse to live it under the burden of addiction and anxiety. I plan on making this life of mine something epic, and I cant do that if alcohol is in my life. PERIOD. Nice thread btw, I like it.

I deserve to be happy because I exist, as happiness is part of our purpose as living beings.
