Thanks for the posts

So nice to see your posts Vera and Charles.
It is hard to give myself credit. I am (still) insecure and I know that has a lot to do with the lack of praise and encouragement from childhood. I am easliy hurt and harbor resentments that I turn inside out and blame myself. I was told my someone here at GT a while back that “you are one I never expected to make it” . Frankly that kind of comment is so destructive to someone like me and if that had been said to me at a different point in recovery I would have gambeled over it. I now avoid groups because I can’t take the chance of hearing negative remarks, even in jest. I still have a lot of growing up to do.
