I hated everything about who I was when I started this journey. I lived with debilitating guilt & shame. Sometimes I still do. (I know that’s my disease winning and I need to get into action when that happens.)
Through working the steps, staying sober one day at a time, therapy, exercise, sober friends, supportive family, and above all God, I have managed to crawl out from under the boulder that was keeping me trapped for so many years.
Little by little, each day I am learning to accept myself as I am. Forgive myself for the wrong & harm I did to others. And, by being okie, not always being okie. It’s good to feel emotions. The good and the bad.
There is only one Me. And there is only one You. I want to be the best version of myself possible. And with that, it’s owning who I am and what makes me unique. Admittedly, F@%& may be my favorite word. Happy F%£@‘in Friday!
