Thanks for this. I was really hard on myself today and needed this. I wasn't as "friendly" as I would have liked and came home and didn't know what to do with myself. I wanted to go out and unwind and go to a bar and meet people. Reading this helps me put it in perspective. I wasn't overly "friendly" but i wasn't "rude" so why am I beating myself up??? I'm human, and I'm also in recovery. Sometimes at the end of the day the only thing I say to myself is, "At least I'm sober" because good or bad everyday I'm sober is a step in the right direction. I'm working really hard on being OK with myself even when I'm feeling low. Accepting myself as I am, good or bad..Because I'm human and no one is perfect.
