So many times we compare ourselves to others and find ourselves wanting in our own eyes forgetting that we are all God's creatures. We look at what we don't have rather than what we do have.
We each have a gift and I feel it is up to us to share it. I am worthy of recovery. I deserve to get better. I had to learn to identify with the feelings and not compare the difference. I had to quit saying, "I didn't do that. I didn't act like that. That never happened to me so maybe I'm not an alcoholic/addict/codependent. They key word is yet. It is a progressive disease.
This isn't a recovery link but it shows how someone who is small often thinks they have to prove themselves. I was the opposite I was taller than most of my friends growing up and felt like a dork and was uncomfortable in my own skin.
