A recent thread about Kirkpatricks books reminded me about affirmations. Do any of you use these? Do you find them helpful?

Affirmations

I've read the WFS ones long ago. I suppose now that I'm AF they kind of have what I changed my mindset to when I quit this past Dec.

I just looked them up: here they are if anyone hasn't read them:

They are an abstinence based program.

Thanks so much for posting those Breez.

Made me stop and think how we really need to learn to love our own selves and become aware of just how much we have to offer others. Your post also makes me appreciate, that within reason, life is really what we make it.

Reading those affirmations has really lifted my spirits this evening.

Much love,
