Today I am my own best friend, I look after myself spiritually, physically and emotionally. I do not focus my energies on judging, criticizing or disrespecting myself in anyway. I believe it is my responsibility to set the agenda to teach others how I wish to be treated. I no longer need to point out my faults to others. When I care for and nurture me and refuse to accept negative messages from my inner chatterbox, wonderful things happen and I welcome the thrill in participating in my own life.

Lovely post Irish, thanks. I can't begin to tell you all the wonderful things that are happening to me, now that i am respecting myself, being kind to me, re-discovering, and loving who i am again, taking myself more seriously. (at last!)
And you know what? It all stems, directly, from me stopping drinking, and staying stopped. Life's drama's still? Of course, but, no more chains, just freedom, self respect.....and loving each day.
Best wishes all! Go for it!

IE,
Thank you for your post. Something to listen to, and to live by.Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.
