My negativity used to stop me from loving myself & others. Now, when old beliefs creep into my thoughts, I remember the work I did in Step4. I remind myself of how much I've grown in recovery. I stop, own my behaviour, & make positive changes. Through experiencing change, I know in my heart that all is possible. When I realise negativity is seeping into my thinking, I know I have a choice to let go of old ways. If I'm taking someone else's inventory, or taking my own, I remind myself we are all children of God. Each one of us deserves to be treated with love & respect. CoDA Daily Meditation.
