I need to write –
I am feeling so positive about recovery – I am on day nine.
And I have just come across a “but” person on another site who has decided I am becoming complacent and need the benefit of their put downs – sorry I think they said experience .
If I had nine years behind me I might become complacent – I have been fighting this for too long to become complacent after nine days . By the way that’s all I got to say “I’m on day nine ”
So I called This person out on their negativity immediately, told them I was trying to work the steps and one of the new measures I have taken is to not let negative people drag me down – I am working at this , clocking up my days – what’s to be negative about ?
They are every where – the begrudgers- and I have to say it but often I find it’s those in recovery who feel it’s their duty to remind us how weak we are .
In the past I would have felt deflated – thought what’s the point – and ended up back where I started .
Today I told this person I was calling them out on their negativety and discouragement – I told them they sounded critical and that I was logging off as my recovery is more important to me than people pleasing . They kept arguing and I simply logged out .
I don’t need straight talking , I don’t need to hear the things others decide I don’t want to hear – I need recovery !!!
Looking forward to day ten – feeling empowered!
