Nothing changes until we become Aware of the problem.
That's exactly why I chose the screen name SteppingUp. For me, just realizing that there is a serious problem and taking steps to deal with it is a big step. Taking care of myself is something I've rarely done in my life. Spent most if it trying to keep everyone else happy (Codependent, I know)!
It hasn't worked.
