5 Confidence Building Statements
hey everyone! you know those times in life where you may be lacking self-confidence? i know i sure do... they come!! here are 5 statements you can write down and speak to yourself... or even memorize them to help give your esteem a boost! i know some will think, "ah, yeah, positive thinking is over-rated"... and true, just positive thinking will not necessarily change things up in your life.... but it's one tool that can help build a firm recovery foundation!!
i pulled these from SMART Recovery... (my own wording)
1. Just because today sucks doesn't mean tomorrow will.
2. I like to be recognized and applauded by others, but you know what? I don't need that to feel peace and happiness.
3. I'm gonna mess up sometimes... I'm not always gonna hit my targets in life, but I'm still gonna love and accept me!
4. What I do, how much money I make, how many clean days I have, etc. does not determine my worth!
5. My thoughts about me and life aren't always right...and I'm not always going to believe them. Cuz I've got so many good qualities about me!
Feel free to add to the list!

How Our Helpline Works
For those seeking addiction treatment for themselves or a loved one, the Recovery.org helpline is a private and convenient solution.
Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) for your visit will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC).
We are standing by 24/7 to discuss your treatment options. Our representatives work solely for AAC and will discuss whether an AAC facility may be an option for you.
Our helpline is offered at no cost to you and with no obligation to enter into treatment. Neither Recovery.org nor AAC receives any commission or other fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a visitor may ultimately choose.
For more information on AAC’s commitment to ethical marketing and treatment practices, or to learn more about how to select a treatment provider, visit our About AAC page.
If you wish to explore additional treatment options or connect with a specific rehab center, visit our homepage to browse our directory listings, or SAMHSA’s treatment services locator.
