470 days

Well, today marks 470 days in recovery and the more time passes, the more thankful and grateful I am for my sobriety.
I have noticed that since I have stopped accepting less than I deserve, I have become hyper aware of anyone else who sells themselves short in this way. I know I alluded to this in last night's post but my primary issue all of these years was letting others treat me badly. And I did that because I thought so poorly of myself and subsequently treated myself poorly. When I reflect on all that I accepted and tolerated from others, it makes me sick. It also makes me feel sad because I owed myself so much more. What mitigates those bad feelings a bit is the fact that I won't abandon myself ever again. From here on out, I will make it a priority to put my happiness, wellbeing, and self care first. It's simply not worth it to do anything less!
