CoDA Weekly Reading 11/11/25
Good Things
I read the affirmation today “I deserve the good things that happen in my life” and it took me by surprise. As a codependent from an alcoholic background, my focus and energy was always directed toward preventing major catastrophes from happening to others and myself.
It seemed as though the good things others were experiencing were out of reach for me and not even a possibility. For I thought I was a cripple and not deserving or able to experience good things.
Today, in CoDA, I am changing – beginning to open up to the possibility that good things happen and that I deserve them. That’s what the CoDA program has done for me. It has allowed a breadth of vision that includes an attitude that I, too, am a child of a Loving Creator who wants me to have good things. My responsibility today through the Twelve Steps will be to believe that I deserve them and they will happen.
