I have to trust that I won't revert back to the big old bad demand, pout and shout deamon that I used to be. I won't. I still have the same feelings ... sometimes I get angry, sometimes disappointed, sometimes a whole range of negative emotions but I've realised I cannot stop myself from feeling these things but I have immense power on how I choose to deal with those feelings and how much of an effect I let them have on me. That helps a great deal.
Jeesh Jen - did you just describe me to a T or what? WOW. Ditto all the way.
Stay strong SD. You sound good hun. Consistancy pays off.
