In the past, I believed that I was not worthy and not important. I allowed people to treat me as such. The more I abused myself with alcohol, the more abuse I tolerated from other people. I gave away any remaining self-value with my drinking and opened the door to physical and emotional damage.
WFS Statement #12 breathes life into me with empowering ideas. It states that “I am a competent woman.” I needed this healthy encouragement daily as I was beginning my New Life, sometimes I needed to say it a hundred times a day. I began to feel my self-worth returning, as well as feelings of value.
It is comforting to walk away from abuse as well as a loving action towards myself. I am one rocking competent woman who knows that she has so much to give life!
I am worthy of respect, dignity and love.
Hugzzz,
Karen Hamm, President
