Self-Acceptance Project
I wanted to share this here. It seems that so many of us suffer from low self esteem. This is a free video series that looks into this issue.
From the website -
No matter how much spiritual practice, self-improvement, or therapy we’ve undertaken, there is one area where many of us still find ourselves challenged every day: self-acceptance. It seems all too easy to fall into the trap of judging ourselves as inadequate, finding fault with our achievements or our bodies, and believing our self-critical inner voices that insist we’ll never measure up to who we ought to be. Is there a solution?
In this FREE online video event series, Tami Simon speaks with several contemporary luminaries in the fields of spirituality, psychology, and creativity. Together they explore the questions around self-acceptance—and investigate how we can overcome the difficulties of embracing who we are. Where do our self-critical voices come from? Can we silence them, or is there a better way to deal with them? Can we be motivated to change and excel while still accepting ourselves as we are? Why is it often so much easier to feel compassion and forgiveness towards others than towards ourselves?

Your definitely accepted on SR ArtFriend - I hope your own self esteem is not too low, it shouldn't be. We both suffer from the same vile addiction and are doing our best to fight it - we don't need to be getting down on ourselves

Thanks Saoutchik. I do have some self esteem issues that go way back to childhood. It is tough to over come that at times. And you are right, it is hard enough to deal with our disease and we don't need to add to that fight.
I just want to add that the words "The Self-Acceptance Project" at the end of my OP is a link to the website. It doesn't look like a link tho.
