Today I trust what I feel and I listen to my inner voice.
It does not matter if it is logical or if others agree. My feelings and emotions guide me on a path that is right for me.
Time for Joy - Book - Quote
This reminds me that no one could tell me what to do and it wasn't until I was ready to do something with my life, no one else could help me.
I had lost all sense of reason and all sense of well being and I thought I was unloveable, unworthy, and undeserving of recovery. What helped me was a lady, who took me to my first meeting saying to me, "You are a child of God. God doesn't make no junk."
I did not trust that inner voice. Old tapes told me it wasn't to be trusted and ignored not worthy of listening to.
I had to change that around and once I did, I did find the joy of living. I no longer have to go outside of myself to validate my feelings and who I am in today. I no longer look outside of myself to find something or someone to make me happy.
