I wanted to share what I read in my 'one day at the time' book yesterday when I looked up 'despair'. It helped me a lot and hope it will help others.
page 119:
Three things I will practice every day from now on:
1. I will stop being a crutch for the A. 2. I will not let myself concentrate on the distressing features of my present existence, but will look for the good things in it. 3. I will remind myself that self-respect can relieve me of the need for pity, my own and others.
I've missed placed my books lately. we're getting ready for a move. I was glad you shared this quote from our literature. It was what I needed to hear today.
just what I needed, too- I am also working on the self respect part and trying not to get into pity mode- am teetering a bit on the edge and your quote helped me to CHOOSE the right side of that fence. Hugs, J.
