AFFIRMATIONS:

~

One of our choices in recovery is choosing what we want to think,
using our mental energy positively.

Positive mental energy, positive thinking, does not mean we think
unrealistically or revert to denial. If we don't like something, we
respect our own opinion. If we spot a problem, we're honest about it.
If something isn't working out, we accept reality. But we don't dwell
on the negative parts of our experience.

There is magic in empowering the good, because whatever we
empower grows bigger. One way to empower the good is through
affirmations: simple positive statements we make to ourselves: I
love myself…. I'm good enough….. My life is good…. I'm glad I'm
alive today…

Our choice in recovery is not whether to use affirmations. We've been
affirming thoughts and beliefs since we were old enough to speak.
The choice in recovery is what we want to affirm.
