Early in sobriety was really tough for me. I was dealing with alot of guilt, shame, and remorse. I had a terrible self image and alot of negative talk going on inside my head. I listened to positive affirmations for a long time. I would even practice writing affirmations along with my gratitude list each morning. Didn't happen over night but the more I kept doing it the more I improved

I was about 18 months into my sobriety. I had been Social security for 15 years. My mind felt that I could go back to work. But I still han low self worth. So I prayed on it. After about a month, not really looking real hard. My ex-wife heard of a job at a Cemetery a job that does everything from cutting grass to burying people. I was really nervous, but I went and put in a application they interviewed me on the stop. Told me they would let me know the next day. So the next day came and I got the phone call. I had a job. I was scared to death second thought came , but I went to work that Monday
Been there almost a year now. I feel so much better about myself now. Get my credit straightened around and even bought a newer car. Those promises they talk about in the rooms really do come true. 3 years ago I was hopeless broken alcoholic and addict. Jan 26 I'll celebrate 3 yrs of sobriety. With God at my side life is pretty good nowadays
