What do you like about yourself?
I have a hard time coming up with things to, and I think a lot of us here are that way. That's why I made the thread, recovery is supposed to be about joy, not about loathing ourselves.
I like the way I am a good, solid, lay down on the tracks, for you kind of friend and family member. I don't have a lot of friends since I am introverted but to the friends and family members I do have I am there for 100% and will do anything (within reason) to be there for them whenever they need it.
I thought about it as I was typing and strangely I think what I like best about myself also presents me some problems because I am loyal to a fault and sometimes that loyalty is misplaced and I don't take care of myself first which is something I am trying to learn.
Perhaps, I will have to think more on it and choose something else. (Sorry I am having one of those "in your head/over analyzing" too much days.)

I like myself for not having a drink tonight: for the first time in 26 days, I really thought about ordering a glass of wine as I drove up to nice restaurant tonight on a date. Didn't do it though: yippee for me!
As a person, I like that I am trying very hard to not say anything negative about people: this is very hard for me, unfortunately, but I am getting better each day.

i am very grateful the deep down is being brought to the surface!
i truly love myself instead of being self destructive. i am flexible in seeing other points of view without being incessently judgemental. i recognize more opportunities to live rather than just stumbling through life. i am passionate about helping others instead of looking for a fresh kill. i am at peace within my own skin rather than always thinking i need something different.
More to the point- i really like who i've always been and who i am becoming!
