In addition to working the 12 steps of both SLAA and OA, I also plan to start taking the necessary steps to love myself. To that end, I have purchased and started to read the book Loving Yourself: The Mastery of Being Your Own Person. I know that many of my issues have stemmed from the fact that I did not love myself therefore I allowed others to treat me any way they liked. Obviously I have been aware of this issue for quite some time however it has only been recently that I have felt both confident and competent in changing this harmful behavior and learning to love myself. In the past 7.5 months of recovery, I have started to get to know myself quite well without any outside distractions and I have found that I am a pretty awesome person. I enjoy my own company which is huge for me! I look forward to further strengthening my relationship with myself in the years to come.
