What I am Admitting

Today I have come to fully admit to myself and to the world that I have a problem with fear. I have a fear of facing fear and I use my fear to keep me stuck repeating the same thoughts, situations, and patterns that have served to make me miserable for more periods of my life than I care to count. And I am fully responsible for that!! So, today I'm standing up and admitting this as well as fully accepting it and that I need to start facing this immobilizing fear....But that is for tomorrow today is awareness and acceptance!!

What is it that you are ready to admit to yourself & the world today?

I am a good and decent human being who deserves to be treated with dignity and respect; I am deserving of love.

I'm an alcoholic, I'm powerless over alcohol.

I'm codependant, I'm powerless over others.

I admit that I have a lot of work to do in order to improve my life and that I am committed to doing that work until I am a healthier person. I also admit that I am not perfect and that I make mistakes. And that's okay.

i'm admitting that i'm not right all the time... and that's okay. what's right for me isn't right for someone else, and it's selfish of me to think my path is the only right one.

To take responsibility for my actions and not blame others. To accept that I make mistakes and that it's okay if I learn from them and make an effort not to repeat them.

I admit that I have a major problem with trying to make people like me that I seriously need to figure out. Case in point? I was updating my 'mood' on myspace (yes, I'm a dork like that ), and the adjective that truly reflected my mood wasn't a positive one. I wouldn't want anyone to see that I might not be positively chipper, so I picked a different one. Now how weird is that??

Good for you, MTBC.

I am admitting that without faith I too fall into a fearfilled paralysis , but its because of the strength of people like you who share that I jump back on the faith train and conquer my fears again.

I'm admitting that it I need to cut myself some slack and let time take it's time. As I've grown in recovery over many years I've been impatient with myself and reluctant to give myself a pat on the back for all the work and positive changes in my life. At times I can treat myself as if I haven't accomplished anything at all. I feel that is insulting to me and to God. It's a good thing He understands
Silly me! I'm doing great! Thank you to me and Thank You- HP!!!

I'm definately full of fear for the future and my self esteem is shot. And I have a hard time dealing with denial, acceptance, loss and letting go.

I've spent too much time trying to control AH for my own happiness because I don't fit into his world. The bar scene, the drinking, his friends and many ways his family. Likewise he doesn't share what I want or fit into a world I want.

He's happy, off with his friends, drinking and having "fun" living life the way he wants, being free, coming and going and doing as he pleases. I'm the miserable one home alone, isolated with no friends around me, longing for a peaceful, serene life with shattered hopes and dreams and no one to share life with.

The way I see it now I'm the one with a problem.

I admit I create much of my own chaos and stress.
I have a need to fix things, especially the things I can't control which inturn creates the stress.

I fear my dog will puke on my carpet while I'm gone. (thats NOT a joke)

I admit that I AM acceptable and that I am fine just the way I am.

I admit that when I was a child, I did amazing things to cope - and they truly were amazing that I could function as well as I did under the circumstances. Instead of hating the result (being a codie), I admit that I love myself for doing the best with what I had and that now that I am an adult, I don't need those coping mechanisms anymore.

I admit to having the power to protect and nurture my child self and the ability to give my adult self the healthy and happy life I deserve.

I admit I'm sad because my husband chose the beer over me and rather than standing up for my self I chose him over me.
