Checking in. 90 days! I have a serenity prayer coin on my keychain and I love it. Happy to be making positive changes, and accepting what I canā€™t change too. My relationship with alcohol and other elements in life too has changed a lot the past few years. Itā€™s taken me a long time to decide that even semi moderate drinking is worse for me than zero. Iā€™m happy to be totally sober now and I want to continue on this path. Sober today and I hope many tomorrows.

Yā€™all Iā€™m literally shaking and in fight or flight over the stupidest thing. But Iā€™m soooo proud of myself. Iā€™ve been white hot pissed over this situation for weeks. I took control today.

I was referred an NFL player which I typically refuse to work with (no offense if any are here)
The referring person was really pushy and I said yes because Iā€™m a damn people pleaser. NFL players (again no offense) are a ton of work, typically not business people, take an exorbitant amount of time, and it usually does not go anywhere. Itā€™s just not good business for me. Normally Iā€™m so good about turning down bad business, but she was so demanding and pushy and I backed down. Iā€™ve been angry at myself ever since. This morning, I very tactfully fired them both. He was lovely about it, but I could tell he was a little bummed. I set him up with great resources though, so heā€™ll be ok. Iā€™m terrified of her response. Why? Because I want someone I donā€™t like to like me!!! WTAF is my problem :sob::sob::sob:

@Fargesia_murielae
Puzzles are great. I am trying to work one that has all black pieces. Super hard since the pieces are large normal, small normal, and curved pieces. Crazy.

I think you are dealing with a case of setting new boundaries. I used to let people run all over me when I was drunk since I had a super low self esteem. I think it also came from the guilt I felt from drinking and a kind of self punishment of myself (in a weird way). Now that I am rediscovering myself, Iā€™ve started pushing back and resetting boundaries that are better for me. I donā€™t go crazy, but no longer feel compelled to give in all of the time.
It is not easy, but it is surprising how well people adjust to it. In fact, people try to see how far they can push you before you push back. If it comes early on they realize they cannot push you around.

As far as people liking me. I want people to respect me even if they donā€™t like me. I can set boundaries and present them, but if someone wants to not like me for them, that is their problem and not mine.

I had 3 full emdr treatments but its my home that triggers the shit out of me, just filled up the bullet holes a month ago and iā€™m reaching out to get a good gz-psy but in the landscapes of healthcare they just dont seem to see the urge that im in couz it just gets better day by day but im still fleeing after certain times. Last time i holded on 3 weeks @ home but last 10 were a hell to go thrue.
Thnx for thinking with me claudia , it does help me feeling not alone and supporter.

@Girlinterrupted you are lovable , very lovable and I understand you have problems to accept that. I have the same problem. Our very core is immensely lovable and important. I am in the way to accept that and I pray you realize it :two_hearts::raised_hands:t5::pray:t5::dog:

Just fuck em off. You cant make someone like you if they just want to use you for something that you wont do- Her response is going to be absolute dog shit but thatā€™s a reflection of her personality, not your work ethic. Youā€™re better off.
