Good morning class, Nicki awesome 6 days, Wes as always good to see you!

OK a Lesson, Hmmm,
What other people think of me is none of my business.

When I say that I think about how much time I have wasted on what other people think of me, too much is the answer. Before recovery I had no boundaries, no sense of self, and how I felt about myself was determined by weather or not someone else approved.I used their opinions as what drove me emotionally, It was very exhausting.
Now a saying I heard comes into play" put down the magnifying glass and pick up the mirror".
What that means to me and I have already started, do not worry about what others think we, or at least I, have done enough of that.
We are on a new page here and not only not drinking but relearing how to live.
I say lets live for us and not others. We are who we are and I accept who I am.
I Vow to live for me and not the acceptance of others, for I am an individual and I LIVE FOR ME!
