Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
- Will Rogers
I have never been a priority in my life. So, to make all the changes towards recovery was really hard for me. It was easier for me to do what was right if it mattered to someone else. "Well if so and so wants me to eat this meal then I guess it is OK." This is how I was surviving...with the mentality that I do not matter enough to do it for me. When I used to visit family in MN my motto was "I'll fix it later." I'd do what was normal with them, but as God as my witness I'd have to fix it when I got back home. This is my biggest struggle to date, making me a priority. I'm working on it, but find it to be the hardest thing to tackle in recovery. I remind myself in these moments "just because I can do it does not means I should do it" and that helps.
Make yourself a priority, whether you're in recovery or not.

good point.
i can definitely tell that you are making an attempt to make yourself a priority.
i think i need to do that, too. but i need to make sure it is for the right reasons. that is where i get messed up sometimes.
