My thought for today is self-esteem. Self-esteem is not pride and it's not self-pity, it's the middle ground in between those extremes. It's reminding myself that I'm worth showing up for. In my morning routine, of prayer and meditation, I try to do that. First, I ask for help from my higher power whom I often refer to as God. Then, instead of rushing blindly into the chaos, I do a few readings from books I find helpful, then I ask God to have a care for people I know who are still struggling whether with addiction or with family illness, and finally for help getting through my day. My routine helps to center me so that I will be of better use to God and to my fellows. If working with others, I will try to use experiences from my past to help those I sponsor. As the Big Book reminds me, "we will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it." In all my affairs I will remember that I am good enough.
