I am enough. Just for today I will do the best I can and make the most of what I get. I will be optimistic and hopeful. I will not dwell on yesterday but do the best I can today. I am not perfect but I am enough.

It's been a crazy week for me. I've been working all week and will not be getting a break. But, like someone told me yesterday "sometimes you have to do what you have to do! That is so true. So I will do what I have to do and do it to the best of my ability. I have decided that I will stick working for my aunt out until August or September when my uncle has more time to help her. Then I feel it is in my best interest to leave. It causes me so much stress being around her I just feel like I'm not as productive as I want to be. I've made a decision to take care of myself and do what is best for me. Not to be selfish but I need to take care of myself. I am scared of making a change this was not an easy decision but it's what I feel is in my best interest. Tomorrow I will be having lunch with my friend and I can't wait to let you know how it goes.

Meditating on the "Just for Today" Al-Aon Pamphlet would work wonders for you
if you have it..  Got on?  I know they have them at the face to face meetings.

It is amazing when one begins to honour one's existence and self worth. You deserve to think about you in this situation.

Just for today.

I took it down to "Just for the next five minutes.", why? Because the whole day seemed too long.

Just for today, look at your needs, your situation, your life, and go with it.

Sending you hugs.
Love

 You are ENOUGH christinajeanne, and you are working a good program. I can tell because you are thinking about what is best for you in the situation with your aunt, and looking out for your best interests. This is not being selfish, this is self-care. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Love in Recovery,

Overcome

Thank you for sharing this. It speaks to that dark and insecure place of me that always feels like I am innately defective and inadequate. Thank you for this!
