I've really been through a dark period this year.
Firstly, let me tell you that I deactivated FB because it's shallow and people are savage on FB. I've gotten much more from SW.
I think I've turned a corner and realized that there's two ways to look at my life. I can beat myself up for not having good credit, a fat savings, a true career or a driver's license at age 36 (due to alcoholism in my 20's) or I can see the good in myself. I can tell myself I'm a loser or I can tell myself the positives:
I have over 6 years sober
I pay my bills now & have learned to be more responsible
I'm a good mother to our toddler
I have a successful marriage of 4 years & am a faithful wife
My house is clean & my lawn mowed
I'm employable and starting a new job soon
I have most of my health intact
Most of my problems are fixable. I just need to find the strength to do so.
Can someone help me forgive myself for my mistakes?
