I am very happy to have received news from John inviting me to post again. I have been a little busy lately, I have not posted in a very long time.
I am feeling well these days, it is not so much that the people around me have changed. I have learned to find peace of mind eventhough my family still have alcohol and drug problems. I think it has to do with attitude!! it is about letting go, and doing the best that I can do to be happy. "It begins by me first". I am still attending Alnon meetings, I sponsor three people, and that has helped me to evolve a lot. I know that the suggestions that I may give to others is really the answers that I give to myself in similiar situations.
I am not saying that my life is perfect, because I still have a lot of character defects that I work on daily, yet I am better than I was in the past. I will always need Alnon to keep me on track.
I was attending university, I dropped my course because I failed a 10 percent quizz. I based all of my value on that tiny little quizz. I did not take into account all the times that I have done well in the past. I suffer from perfectionism, I was brought up that way, I am always struggling with that character defect!! I found out in therapy that I dropped the course because I was so afraid of failing, that I told myself lies. I had so many reasons, such as I am in too much traffic, the hours are not good enough, it must be my health problems etc. I am ready to go back to university to take a risk, because I am nearing the end, I need to go over the fear. Each day I ask my Higher Power to help me to go over my panic, and fears. I know that the HP works through the people and the experiences of my life. I want to thank John for gettting in touch with me. I appreciate this message board very much and the people who share their daily experiences. Thank you for listening to me, and letting me say the real things. Have a calm and peaceful day!!
