information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
is it common among us (alanoners) to always feel inadequate? i feel like everyone, and i mean everyone, is way smarted than i could ever even hope to be. everyone must know all the things i don't. consequently, i trust that everyone will be better at things that affect my life than i would be. and i have been so wrong. i guess i am learning but i am wondering is this part of growing up in an alcoholic home and being married to an alcoholic? i suppose it doesn't matter but is there any esh on feeling this way and how to grow out of this?
Yes it is common well most people I know in alanon.You got to work on being good to your self and I mean work .It doesnt come easy but as we go it gets easier.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3 and one of my favorite traditions is God did for me what I couldnt do for my self .
It is not about perfection it is about practice and you will never be perfect and neither will I . we do the best we can for that day and we accept what ever that is .Some days I do better then the last but but that day it was my best.Remember one day at a time.
In the early days at alanon someone told me do the next right thing and you can start your day over as many times as you need to.
I think you are wonderful, you were honest and shared from your heart so for today pat your self on your back and start tomorrow tomorrow .. bad grammar i know ha
