People used to tell me all the time that when they met me they did not like me but that I grew on them. This used to hurt my feelings. I still hear it now and then but not as often. I have a complicated personality and I always just wanted to be liked by everyone. I am now trying to let that go because it is never going to happen.
This morning my new sponsor in OA said she did not want to sponsor me. She suggested I get therapy. I hung up on her. But I did not cry like I usually do. I was due to host a meeting of LAA and a woman joined who gave me all kinds of accolades for my book, Addiction to Love. This was God's way of rewarding me for staying in my "Healthy Adult" personality.
I love the story of the Ugly Duckling. To understand how crazy I am, let me say that when I found out I was a swan, I still wanted to hang out with the ducks. LOL
So another day come and gone . . .
