Hey Sadie,,welcome to SR,,,,,
Character defects? I'm thinking its 31 years with an A?!?!?!?
I'm all those things you mentioned too. But funny, its only when DEALING with my A. Otherwise, I'm funny, cute, happy and a peace loving hippie who lives in the day and LOVES life. I believe every day is a GIFT.
What helped me most when I fisrt started my journey to recovery was the three c's:
I didn't cause it
I can't control it
I can't cure it
What I CAN do is detacha and take care of myself.
And your right, SR is the perfect place to start,,,Can't wiat to get to know you
Peace
