Rose, one of the things said to me in an AA meeting was, "It's not all about you."
I did a double blink at that. Even though I intellectually knew that it wasn't, I didn't really grasp that no one was giving me or what I did a second thought. They were busy thinking about themselves.
Another AA-ism that I like is, "What other people think of me is none of my business." That one is so freeing
Good job on getting through it successfully. Every success gave me more confidence.
