Good Things


I
read the affirmation today, “I deserve the good things that happen in
my life” and it took me by surprise. As a codependent from an alcoholic
background my focus and energy was always directed toward preventing
major catastrophes from happening to others and myself. It seemed as
though the good things others were experiencing were out of reach for
me and not even a possibility. For I thought I was a cripple and not
deserving or able to experience good things.

Today, in CoDA, I
am changing – beginning to open up to the possibility that good things
happen and that I deserve them. That’s what the CoDA program has done
for me. It has allowed a breadth of vision that includes an attitude
that I too am a child of a Loving Creator who wants me to have good
things. My responsibility today through the 12 Steps will be to believe
that I deserve them and they will happen.
