Change

What's something you're working on to become a better person rather it's directly for you or others?

My self-confident has not been good. I think it's related to becoming a widow who is now a single mother. It just blindsided me.

So I am going to focus on complimenting myself.

I think, when it boils down to it, I'm working on becoming enough for ME.
Trying to see myself through a more gentle "lens" rather than the hateful one I used almost all of my life before now, is a good thing, but it's a challenge. Trying to treat myself as I would a beloved friend or one of my children, is my aim.

I never had a good role model as a father, nor did I have a good role model as a mother.

But through the fellowship and working the 12 steps I became an amazing mother and father to two amazing children and I am not the man my father was, nor did I mother my kids, the way, my mother, mother, me I am truly grateful

This! I need to do this. I for sure don't extend myself the same grace. I'm working on it.

It started for me with First, getting honest, fully honest with someone else. And through that I started building trust, I started building a foundation. I started dumping all that pain I had inside food working the steps once I did that I got a firm foundation.. I started helping with the sick and suffering and sharing my experience strength and hope and helping them recover

Well Josh, just like with everything, I have better days and worse days.
It's going better than I expected though. I still have a couple of main areas of struggle with this. However, I like who I am today. That's something that I could never say before.

I'm here if you want to discuss strategies. Hugs to you.

Just like everything we've do today, Amanda, it's one day at a time, just for today :yellow_heart:

I am trying to find inner peace. I've had a lot of anger and loss that's jaded my outlook. My goal is to never act like a 6 year old having a tantrum again.
Good luck on your journey!

Like you Amanda I would say confidence. I went through a divorce after a 17 year relationship and being single after so long is just so different. It broke my confidence mentally and physically.

My pleasure. Have a wonderful day.
