Virtues are vital tools in recovery and restoration. In the essential work that must occur in order to change due to damage created by such things as dysfunctional families of origin, practicing virtues aids in the re-parenting of the self as a guideline to what is right and wrong, proper boundaries and development of character. You will find that with the hard work of introspective journaling, practice and prayer, the authentic self as God created will emerge and you will be living life more fully and richly. Though the self is limited, we have an unlimited God who can show us the way.
