I am relieved to say that I like myself most of the time. This statement doesn’t mean that I don’t have regrets on occasion, particularly when I speak too soon or too harshly. But I have learned how to right my wrongs which allows me to move forward rather than staying stuck in the past. I think I am a compassionate woman and a great listener. I can laugh at myself which means I don’t wallow in shame or guilt. And that’s because of what I have learned on this recovery path and from all the people whose journey’s have crisscrossed with mine. There are no accidental visitors on our path. Not today. Not any day, past or future.
