Pancake Marathon:

As I come to the point in my life to find a peace of mind, as that is what we are doing in life: as we never really got to do that be for, as that is why we get to do it now; as I find that “I get too,”from changing it from “I have to.”

acronyms and SLOGANS: Organized by Pancake Marathon

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude helps me to find the family that I have been looking for: as I put my need first and that was fine at that time, as it was the simple fact that Change is a process, not an even as it is this that I found that Easy does it is what I was doing at all times; for I was fighting and trying to find joy in the times, to get to this point in my life. Just for Today I have to get to this point of changing my way, Letting go and letting God, for I now know that Willingness is the key by being able to halt, q-tip when in the moments when I need to keep my faith: to all this by the kiss I get to have from god.

"...approval-seeking behavior carried us further into our addiction..." Basic Text p. 14
When others approve of what we do or say, we feel good; when they disapprove, we feel bad. Their opinions of us, and how those opinions make us feel, can have positive value. By making us feel good about steering a straight course, they encourage us to continue doing so. "People-pleasing" is something else entirely. We "people-please" when we do things, right or wrong, solely to gain another person's approval.
Low self-esteem can make us think we need someone else's approval to feel okay about ourselves. We do whatever we think it will take to make them tell us we're okay We feel good for awhile. Then we start hurting. In trying to please another person, we've diminished ourselves and our values. We realize that the approval of others will not fill the emptiness inside us.
The inner satisfaction we seek can be found in doing the right things for the right reasons. We break the people-pleasing cycle when we stop acting merely to gain others' approval and start acting on our Higher Power's will for us. When we do, we may be pleasantly surprised to find that the people who really count in our lives will approve all the more of our behavior. Most importantly, though, we will approve of ourselves.
Just for today: Higher Power, help me live in accordance with spiritual principles. Only then can I approve of myself.

Self-pity is one of the most unhappy and consuming defects that we know. It is a bar to all spiritual progress and can cut off all effective communication with our fellows because of its inordinate demands for attention and sympathy. It is a maudlin form of martyrdom, which we can ill afford. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 238
The false comfort of self-pity screens me from reality only momentarily and then demands, like a drug, that I take an ever bigger dose. If I succumb to this it could lead to a relapse into drinking. What can I do? One certain antidote is to turn my attention, however slightly at first, toward others who are genuinely less fortunate than I, preferably other alcoholics. In the same degree that I actively demonstrate my empathy with them, I will lessen my own exaggerated suffering.
