My presentation at a big work event went well today! I am really proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone, being able to sit in the discomfort of doing something that gives me a lot of anxiety, preparing as much as I could and being proud of the outcome. In my addiction I would never have the confidence or willingness to step out of my comfort zone in this way - or I would have made an excuse to back out at the last minute. Thankful to be building self confidence in recovery and actually looking for opportunities to strengthen my skills in areas I struggle, like public speaking.

That's so cool Molly. Congrats on all of it! Glad it went well and you should be proud yourself. Public speaking gives me horrible anxiety

That's awesome to hear! I have many areas that I need to work on as far as comfort zones go. Definitely will think of you when that time comes

Amazing growth! Recognizing the discomfort and working thru it is not easy to do. I go back and forth with fear being a huge obstacle to overcome. One minute I’m making the choice to overcome it, and 5 minutes later my mind is racing with insanity. My sponsor tells me to keep “practicing”. Good to see you continuing to grow
