Don't Be So Hard on Yourself
Some adjust to life fairly well. Others are not only unable to adjust to distress but also cannot tolerate life when nothing is wrong. When we are displeased with ourselves, nothing is ever satisfactory. A person who is chronically displeased has a poor self-image and is vulnerable to alcoholism or drug addiction. But working the Twelve Steps can help us avoid the bottomless pit. Let's assume that you are sober. Do you still feel displeased much of the time? If so, begin doing things that will enable you to be pleased with yourself.
