From: "Changing Beliefs"
Slowly and painfully, I became aware of myself. I began to see it wasn’t true that I didn’t believe in anything. Rather, I had believed in the wrong things: I had believed I needed a drink for confidence. I had believed I was unattractive. I had believed I was unworthy. I had believed no one loved me. I had believed I never had a break. Someone said at a closed meeting, “There is good in all of us. Seek it out, nurture it, tend it, and it will flourish.” So I began searching for the positives within me. I realized that my feeling of inferiority was just one aspect of ego, and the arrogance I projected was the other. I must find the center median. So I tried to act as if: AA was giving me confidence. I had an attractive personality, even though I was not beautiful. I was worthy, like all others. I loved myself and could therefore love others. Faith was freeing me from the fear that had always gripped me. Came to Believe…, pages 103-104
