Hey Mill, some good questions!!! For me I have always known I was "different" from a small child on and I just "knew" I didn't fit in.

By the time I had been sober 2 to 3 years I realized I was still "different" from other folks, in the way I looked at "things" and how I processed my thoughts.

The difference though is that IT NO LONGER MATTERED nor does it matter today. I am ME.

As I evolved so to speak or grew and changed in sobriety I also came to realize that what other people think of me is NONE OF MY BUSINESS and that put me in a better place to continue to do "the next right thing", and slowly my old habits of people pleasing ("azz kissing, my sponsor used to say, lol) disappeared.

Today, I just need to be the "best" ME I can be TODAY.

JMHO

Love and (((((to all))))),
