I just wanted to provide an update on an earlier post I made about having to speak with a previous qualifier as part of my job duties. While I spent longer on the phone with him than I thought I would, I did a great job with remaining assertive, setting boundaries, not putting him on a pedestal, or any of my other behavior that I had during my active addiction. Actually, it was the most fascinating thing: I realized just how toxic he truly is by listening to what he said and how he said it. For example, he was shamelessly flirting with me even though he is married. The biggest accomplishment happened when I felt only disdain and annoyance for him. If someone would have told me this was possible even 4 years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. Yet here I am! This evening, I am so proud of how far I have come and continue to look forward to more positive changes!
