For me, I think I’ve been in closet in family gatherings and at work. That’s a huge disservice to me and gives those that would bully me fuel. That’s something I’m actively addressing now in all areas of my life.

easy does it

I can relate with Margot, not thinking good things can come to me. whether its love, material things, or a good career, deep down I think for some reason I dont deserve them.. I guess I will figure that out when I go over this step with my sponsor.

Whoa! Making amends to myself (and everyone else) requires seeing and acknowledging the harm I have done. I do not come to this Step unscathed, but only some of the self-harm is apparent. I know I neglected my physical self but the emotional and spiritual harm are far deeper issues. Good and wonderful things have happened in my life and they have gone unacknowledged as I lived in fear of an offsetting bad thing that must balance it. Surely, I felt, good things cannot come to such an unworthy person as myself.
