Having A Sense of Humor in Recovery
During my active alcoholism, I may have laughed and others laughed at or with me, however, I rarely remembered what was so funny the next day. Most of my alcoholism involved being isolated in my apartment rented room. When isolated, I was essentially void of any humor, let alone laughter.
Feeling Worthy of Love
It has been really hard for me to look in the mirror and not hate the person who is staring back. I know I will never get better if I don’t learn to overcome self-loathing. Hopefully, through continued effort in my recovery, I will one day be ok with myself.
Acting in Self-Love
Once I started to act in self-love and stopped comparing myself to others I was able to focus on my goals and was able to become a better version of myself and eventually reach my goals as a runner.
