Step 47- WOW.
@pheynix74, Congratulations on reaching step 47. That's amazing! Keep up the good work :)
I should be thankful for my life and my relationship.
@MayJailerr Very good thinking.
So I just made it to the 10th level, apparently that's some sort of accomplishment...but why do I feel like it isn't. I just have to keep at it I guess.
@saramariemichael18, Congratulations on reaching step 10 :) I do hope you keep at it, because you're making good progress so far! :)
don't let the things that are out of your control, weigh you down
@oatmeallover, This is great to hear!
@oatmeallover I had a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago. I said something hurtful to her. I was frustrated and hurting myself. I felt that she was looking me over with regard to how i took care of myself. She is always put together so perfectly. Makeup and pretty clothes. Perfect weight. I didn;t realize it at the time but I felt defensive and jealous of her. She cried and I felt horrible. I immediatly apologized. Days went by and I still felt horrible. I had been limping because I have pretty bad arthritis. She made a comment about that. And that was really hurtful. So I emailed her and called her. No answer. Yesterday she sent me an email. She doesn;t want to be my friend anymore. She told me that I need to not dart out at people. Funny thing is that I am usually extremely careful with my words. I think a long time before I speak and this was not my normal thing. So I realized that she doesnt know me and that she will not forgive me for what I said to her. SO now I feel like a bad person. I let someone see my pain and wham she is gone.

@bravePrune4654, Congratulations on reaching step 660! That's amazing! You're doing great :)
I have learned to focus on the feeling of my breath entering and leaving my body as a method of relaxing. Very effective! =]
@SkyeHunter Glad to hear that the breathing technique is helping u. thanks for posting it. 
I have learned that an outside perspective can help you see things in your situation that should have been visible to you, but were hidden by emotions or biases or even just plain inertia.
@McKatt Very well said. 
I'm so very glad I learned to just go along with things instead of pushing them away,it was a skill I failed... at first but know I feel so confident about myself! :)))
@bloobugz Congrats . U have started taking things in ur stride. Kudos.
I'm on step 10 but nothing is working at all. It made me feel worse.
@Sundancer29 Sad to hear that u feel things are not working for u right now. Sometimes it takes time to see the progress. Focusing on the small things , (which usually tend to go unnoticed ), usually brings in a positive change. Best wishes
