Little over a year sober. Got my old job back and its been going so well. My fear sneaks in saying I dont deserve it and I should be worried. How do I deal with that

Thats the demon talking. You deal with it ODAAT. Get stronger. More confident. You do deserve it.
I think mild worry is healthy and OK. We cant let our guard down. Become complacent. We need to work it everyday.

Get a mirror and stand in front of it
Lock eyes with yourself and don't break the gaze
Repeat these
I am strong, I am a survivor. There is nothing I can't accomplish with out work, I am DESERVING of everything I have and everything I dream of. I will no be defeated. I am LOVED
Repeat as often and as much as needed

I agree with @matthew398635! Affirmations can work wonders on self esteem and general outlook. The only thing is, it takes time. You may not notice immediate improvement but keep practicing and it WILL happen!! You got this! You wouldn’t be there if they didn’t think you deserved it!

So funny My sponsor made me start doing this when I started working with her. I fell out of practice with it thank you for reminding me
My very first sponsor is the one who introduced it to me also. My GF Marissa and I take turns writing affirmative messages on the bathroom mirror. But due to plumbing issues in the bathroom I had to cut the water to that sink and we have fallen out of practice.
Pray!! Ask God to take away the worry and doubts!!
