Beautiful "B".

I do beleive, that before alanon I had myself on the "marked down final sale clearance rack" for a very long time. Since alanon and the Steps I am no longe on the clearance rack, maybe he full price counter but still smile not behnd the "precious item" case.

Progress not perfection. biggrin

I like this, I have been worth very little in the past but Im on the up, getting more valuable as time goes on in Alanon.

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
If you aren't being treated with Love and Respect, check your price tag. Maybe you marked yourself down.
Get off the clearance rack and get behind the glass where they keep the valuables !

About a year and a half ago,

I performed a cleansing. I eliminated anyone in my life that I felt wasn't playing a part in getting me to where I wanted to be. For years, I thought they were the only option. Sometimes I think I made a mistake and that all of their assertions toward me were right.

I let them all drag me down. I stuck around fighting for their approval. It seemed like everything I did was to get them to like me. I never fit in. Yet, I kept trying.

Bottom line is, I knew that if I was going to be happy, it wasn't going to include them. I took whatever I learned from them and moved on.

Whenever I get those feelings that I'm missing out, the thought of crawling back feels even worse. I just can't take that step back.

Thanks for the share.

I like this quotation. I have discovered recently that I am pretty good at giving, but I really stink at accepting compliments, so I am practicing how to take a nice compliment,and this is along the same lines. Learning to respect myself and valuing my self worth. Thanks Beatrice!

When I first found MIP, or it found me, I'd been sitting on the side of the road for years... Thanks to Al Anon I'm getting closer to the glass every day.
Thanks for sharing this gem!
