Alas, the fearful disbelief is disbelief in yourself.
~ Thomas Carlyle
Self-confidence is an important lesson we learn in our recovery. Most of us start our Program with little confidence in ourselves. As we work the Steps, we begin to be confident that we can be whatever we choose to be, if we want success enough and if we keep on growing.
When we have no faith in ourselves, we have little chance of staying abstinent. Even the miracles of recovery cannot accomplish a better way of living if we don’t believe they can. The more we share with fellow members, the greater will be our self-confidence that success is possible.
In order to have and maintain self-confidence, and feel good mentally and physically, we need to keep our heads screwed on straight with clear and rational thinking.
I can be whoever I make myself believe I can.
