24 Hour Recovery Connection Part 281
10:13 in California and checking in for another 24. I am fighting a losing battle attempting to keep things clean in the midst of renovating. I need to accept that it will take longer because we are doing work around our actual jobs, and my BIL schedule and that the dust is going to be here with us. However, I find myself armed with rags, Pledge and whatever counter cleaner we happen to have every five minutes.
Good morning everyone
24 hrs more for this alcoholic that is grateful but still lost somewhere inside, but loving sobriety........
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity. People who do not experience self-love have little or no capacity to love others.
—Nathaniel Branden
We cannot hang on to feelings of shame and guilt and still hope to become better people. How did these feelings begin? If we were treated badly by people, we need to be honest about what happened so we can resolve it and move on. Have we perpetuated our feelings by acting disrespectfully ourselves? Then we need to take a thorough inventory of our wrongdoings, admit them, make repairs, and let them go.
We may wallow in shame because facing it feels too frightening. Often, we believe our shame is greater than that of others. This belief is usually untrue and grandiose. It's part of how we isolate ourselves. We don't have to face it alone. We have the help of other men and women who can listen to our pain and tell us about their experiences.
Today, may I find the courage to face my shame and assert my right to self-esteem.

In for another 24 hours, please. (1:48 p.m. MT) I've been super tired and stressed out over my long hike last week, coupled with the huge argument with my husband. And, to boot, my pet chicken (pictured in my avatar) is not eating. She's the last pet chicken I will have and I've cared for her for 9.5 years. I really do love her, and I think she may be slowly passing over the rainbow bridge. I am just not ready to lose her, yet.
Sending you love.
