Trusting others more than yourself...

A lot of people living with someone who has substance abuse problems, or who has grown up in a family in similar conditions, often trust others more than themselves. And in addition they often choose to trust the person with substance abuse problems rather than themselves.

What does that lead to? Obviously insecurity, low self esteem and it reduces the opportunities to make decisions in favor for themselves. That's when you listen to what someone else thinks, rather than how you yourself are reasoning or feeling. Our emotions, values and thoughts are our guides that point out which decisions are good for us and which aren't.

Does this describe you?

In that case, what do you emotions tell you? What is your gut feeling telling you? Listen to yourself - and dare to trust yourself! You are the most important person in your life because you are guaranteed to be living with yourself for the rest of your life!
