Know what this is? It's a Newcomer Chip I received after having attended my first Co-Dependents Anonymous Meeting. I'm not deeply codependent, and not in a way that is very obvious (I don't think.) Why am I sharing this? Two reasons. One, I always try to be completely open and transparent with friends and family (I think some of you may have heard me proclaim my personal "open book" policy ) because for so long so much of my real life was hidden and I only allowed the bits of good stuff to show. And two, I'm always looking for ways to improve and better myself, whether that's with continuing education, challenging myself in a variety of ways, staying fit and healthy, or growing and evolving mentally and spiritually because I think that's an emotionally healthy thing to do. It helps to have the support of friends and family in all those endeavors. When I perceive something in myself that needs some work, or tweaking, or a full-on overhaul, I prefer to tackle that head on. So.....this is me tackling this unhealthy bit of myself head on!
Good on you Ronni. It takes a very strong person to do what you just did. Best of luck with your tweaking you to a better person (but I have a strong inkling you're pretty darn ok already )
Ronni I already think of you as a pretty darned OK person. You achieve so much with your life and we're all proud to call you our friend.
I agree with the others Ronni...you are doing a great job at making yourself better. One thing I don't do and I don't like it when others do it to me is LYING... I will not lye for anyone or to anyone.
