Time for me to be my own parent.

Post Reply New Topic

I have wasted enough time wallowing in how my family has failed me. To the point where I have been failing myself.

I know what I need to do. I know how I want to live.

I am accepting the things I can not change, and changing the things I can, and figuring out what the difference is.

What would I tell somebody in my position? I need to talk like that to myself.

I have become my own worst enemy. But only I can change that.

So, it is time for me to stop punishing myself and start doing what I need to do to improve my life and the lives of those around me in recovery.

Amazing what a decent session in therapy can do to a man, right?

Your family probably failed you.

But you're still around, and can make your own way without your family.

Yep...."being your own parent" is not a bad idea at all. Good concept.
