Ways To Build Self Respect
Many people recovering from addiction are struggling with self-esteem.
A lot of people who enter rehabilitation are afflicted by guilt and are unable to accept their own guilt for past mistakes. The ability to forgive yourself and respect yourself is crucial to long-term healing.
Self-respect, like happiness, cannot be simply'switched on'. A lot of people who are in dire need of self-respect, seek out a quick fix to feel better. This could include buying a brand-new car or new clothes or even displaying an arrogant attitude to appear superior. Maybe letting other people intrude on their space because any type of focus makes them feel more confident.
Self-forgiveness
Self-forgiveness can be a sign of self-respect. You cannot be self-respectful in the event that you haven't made amends for past mistakes, and, according to the 12 Steps have'made amends' for the mistakes. That is you must take a seriously a review of your life in the time you were a victim of alcohol or drugs, and consider the harm that you did to yourself as well as other people, and then strive to amend yourself for what you've committed.
Only then will you be able to let yourself go and free yourself from shame and move to a new level which is self-respect, and optimism for the future.

Self-esteem in the early stages of recovery from addiction is an extremely slow, but highly rewarding process. It is a combination of self-acceptance, assertiveness, real-world realism, faith on forgiveness and respect for others, as well as humility. It's rewarding as you can observe results and, even more importantly you can feel them as self-esteem increases.

Neil Gaiman, let’s be realistic. A 21-year-old working in the home of a man four decades her senior cannot truly give meaningful consent to any type of sexual encounter, let alone within mere hours of meeting him. Even though you are denying it was not consensual, the fact you have conceded the sexual encounter did happen at all is a full confession. You are, by your own admission, a predator.

X-Angel Vaggie offering protection to the hotel. I thought this would be more fitting in the role reversal, she's got that angel expertise on her resume. And she's also offering to be a guest. Who can fight the logic that she's just an angel who wants to get back to Heaven. Alastor sure knows a charlatan when he sees one.
Also thank you for the kindness from the last post, thank you guys for joining me in my little AU dollhouse 🥹

Do you think Billy Batson is allowed to enter Olympus???
Would Zeus vouch for him and let him in?
Is there a door in the Rock of Eternity that opens up to Olympus?
Just imagine. This small boy in a red sweater, walking into Olympus, surrounded by ethereal and immortal gods and goddesses, just to like, pick some nice flowers for his adopted mom on Mother's Day. Or, maybe he's having lunch with some gods or deities, like that one comic panel where Billy is eating ice cream on the moon with powerful mages/people.
Would Billy Batson share a pizza with Hades? Would he have lemonade with Hera? Would Billy invite Mary to have breakfast with Artemis and Apollo?
There are so many questions, and not enough time in the day to write a cute little domestic fic about Billy Batson and his adventures in Olympus.
