The reading the other day, has stuck with me. It reminded me of what my sponsor use to say to me many years ago. "If you have recovery, show it. Clean up your mouth, clean up your act, clean up your thoughts, suit up for the day and the rest will follow."
All those values that I was taught when I was growing up, just never seemed to be important and they lost their priority in my life. In some cases, I would let them go, would have guilt but would do them any way and say "What they hey?" It didn't matter because I no longer loved and respected myself.
What is important to me today? Do I value my self-worth and is my self-esteem so low that I forget to put me into the equation? I am important. I do deserve recovery. I am not my disease.
