AFFIRMATIONS Now I recognize how much my alcohol and drug use kept me from being really close to my body. I’ve been hiding out for a long time.
Somewhere along the way I quit being open to anyone. I quit taking any risks. My only relationship was with my addiction. When someone approached me in a caring way I was afraid. I’d back away as quickly as I could. I knew I was not being honest with myself and I did not want people to discover my phoniness. Now I am discovering a real desire to be close again, to build some honest relationships.

Be aware of your words for your words become your actions. Be aware of your habits for your habits become your character. Be aware of your character for your character becomes your destiny. BE CAREFUL! Thoughts create feelings. Feelings create actions. Actions bring you results.
Be aware of your thoughts For your thoughts become your words.
