No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt
We are competent. We made a wise choice for ourselves when we decided to recover. Each day that we continue working this program our spirits are strengthened. And our gifts will multiply.
Feeling inferior can become a habit. Being passive and feeling inferior go hand-in-hand, and they prepare us for becoming dependent on alcohol, pills, food, and people. We didn't understand, instinctively, that we are just who we're meant to be. We grew up believing we were not smart enough, not pretty enough, not capable enough. We grew up too distant from the source of our real strength.
How wonderful for us that we found the program! How lucky we are to have, for the taking, all the strength we'll ever need to face any situation, to handle any problem, to resolve any personal relationship conflict. Feeling inferior can be only a bad memory. The choice is ours. The program promises a better life. The steps promise the strength to move forward. Our friends promise us outstretched hands. I will look forward to the challenges of today with hope and strength and know that I am able to meet them. --from Each Day a New Beginning
Today I am grateful for the 'we' of the program. That I do not have to do it alone.
