Women For Sobriety: 13 New Life Acceptance Statements

Since I will be referencing various programs of recovery and relating it to sugar addiction, I will do a series of posts about these programs.  Today I am listing the Women for Sobriety (WFS) 13 New Life Acceptance Statements.  The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are listed here: https://sugarsobriety.com/a-si…

1. I have a life-threatening problem that once had me.
   I now take charge of my life and my well-being. I accept the responsibility.
   
2. Negative thoughts destroy only myself.
   My first conscious sober act is to reduce negativity in my life.
   
3. Happiness is a habit I am developing.
   Happiness is created, not waited for.
4. Problems bother me only to the degree I permit.
   I now better understand my problems. I do not permit problems to overwhelm me.
   
5. I am what I think.
   I am a capable, competent, caring, compassionate woman.
   
6. Life can be ordinary or it can be great.
   Greatness is mine by a conscious effort.
   
7. Love can change the course of my world.
   Caring is all important.
   
8. The fundamental object of life is emotional and spiritual growth.
   Daily I put my life into a proper order, knowing which are the priorities.
   
9. The past is gone forever.
   No longer am I victimized by the past. I am a new woman.
   
10. All love given returns.
    I am learning to know that I am loved.
    
11. Enthusiasm is my daily exercise.
    I treasure the moments of my New Life.
    
12. I am a competent woman, and have much to give life.
    This is what I am, and I shall know it always.
    
13. I am responsible for myself and for my actions.
    I am in charge of my mind, my thoughts, and my life.

Use the Thirteen Statements daily. Read them each morning, then
choose one and practice it all day for a week. After that, select
another and use it for a week. In time, the actions resulting from the
use of these Statements will become automatic and your life will change
for the better.
