Good Things
I read the
affirmation today “I deserve the good things that happen in my life” and it
took me by surprise. As a codependent from an alcoholic background, my focus
and energy was always directed toward preventing major catastrophes from
happening to others and myself.
It seemed as
though the good things others were experiencing were out of reach for me and
not even a possibility. For I thought I was a cripple and not deserving or able
to experience good things.
Today, in CoDA,
I am changing – beginning to open up to the possibility that good things happen
and that I deserve them. That’s what the CoDA program has done for me. It has
allowed a breadth of vision that includes an attitude that I, too, am a child
of a Loving Creator who wants me to have good things. My responsibility today
through the Twelve Steps will be to believe that I deserve them and they will
happen.
