I can relate to feeling such low self worth. One thing that’s important is to start changing your narrative, and yes, this can be difficult. But the more you keep telling yourself this, the more you believe it. The words we use towards ourselves are so powerful and sometimes we don’t realize it. Once you start changing your narrative, then your perspective starts changing too. But it’s something you have to intentionally do, and do daily. You deserve to be happy, we all do!

Donnie said it! “WE WILL LOVE YOU UNTIL YOU LOVE YOURSELF”. Let it sink in. It’s what kept me coming back and what made me almost melt in my chair I was so overwhelmed. No one had ever said such a thing to me. I mean, WOW!
I hated myself so much and these strangers are going to love me until my love myself… take it.

Love yourself first. One day at a time. It’s not easy. Hopefully you have sober friends to help you through this. I have a partner that drinks everyday which is not helpful to me. I have given him till the end of the year to stop or move out. I k le that i could do it on my own. With the temptation of alcohol. He spends on alcohol and I drink with him. I don’t like spending my money on that stuff so that’s why I know I would do well on my own. Good luck.
Get back on the horse. Start walking. And walking and walking. Walking sometimes up to 5 miles a day is what helps me.

Been there. It's not easy to do, but the more we dedicate ourselves to turning our lives around, the more we have to feel proud of. The more we give to sobriety, the more it gives us.

I think a lot of people said it. Day by day. The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. I did not believe it either
I totally relate. What helps me is getting into Action. Call another addict ask them how they are doing, go to a womens meeting, identify as a newcomer, get a few numbers, be of service, getting out of self is the only remedy That works for me. The more I ruminate over my problems, the bigger they become.
You can do this. Just today you can stay sober. Sending lots of love pretty girl.
You aren't a failure, Luna. You are still here among the living and for some of us, that alone is a major feat. Congratulate yourself for making it this far, if for nothing else. Thank you for sharing all of this, as you just admitted feelings that I personally believe we have all felt at times. Taking up space, that is absurd and probably a learned concept. I suggest you un-learn it and quickly. As Lia M said, be of service. This, too, is what helps me most. Without it, we struggle to love ourselves. Somewhere, someone needs you, I do believe that. There is a reason you are still alive and you have a purpose. It is up to you to find out what that is but if you don't seek that purpose out, you may never find your true purpose. I too have lots of love for you and for you bravery and honesty.

From one vet to another, thanks Zach, for your service. I am not a combat veteran and doubt I would have survived it had I been. Though I know plenty, and have heard some awful stories. Yall don't get anywhere near the redit you deserve and let's not talk about care.

Thanks brother
Great share and way to support! I think you’ll both have what it takes to maintain your sobriety as long as you stick with the positivity and passion for your healthier and happier self’s which will lead to greater happiness all around.
We've all got that negative self-talk. Don't listen to it. It's nonsense and bullshit.
You are an immortal being of infinite light.
It's going to take at least 2 years for y to start actually feeling like a normal person
And when u do go back to drawing ur gonna draw aLot better
Give time time. And you will love who you are soon!!
Right now you are in a transformation stage. It take time.
