I have learned this may not be the place for me

I realized that I'm such a painfully selfless person and, though that's normally seen as a positive quality it can be really damaging. Just hearing "Giving, giving, giving is not the be-all of life. I am an important person in this world, too. If I refuse to do a favor for people, that doesn?t mean I don?t like them nor that I?m selfish. I am under no obligation to say yes to people simply because they ask a favor of me. If I say no to people and they get angry, that does not mean that I should have said yes. I can still feel good about myself, even though someone else is annoyed with me." in the managing emotions guideblew my mind a little bit, silly as that sounds. I'd just, never even considered. I care so much for other people but, I am also a person deserving of care.

It's just nice to know I'm not alone for once... I feel like I'm accepted here

I couldn't be more happy than this i did yay thank you very much

Step 50 & going up. Yay!

I've learned I'm a recovering workaholic. It's weird how obvious it is now.

I'm at step 7 and I feel the weight of the world crushing me down... but I'm only at the beginning of the journey

I got to step10 and now I find out there's a forum?!
