You have to be around crappy people, in crappy situations to realize nope this is not what I want, deserve or need. I try to dwell on it less and just take it for what it is a lesson and move on. I to have tangoed with the questionable peeps and paying their way to. I figure it was a small price to pay to be hugely wiser for it. Reflection though it can be tough and cringe inducing is definitely a must for growing. Lucky us for having a place on the interweb to have it documented haha :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762115760694650114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149234459680138738.post-270514845228181682011-05-31T20:39:56.362-04:002011-05-31T20:39:56.362-04:00Anna,
Another awesome post! I too have an alcoholi...Anna,<br />Another awesome post! I too have an alcoholic mother so I avoided most alcohol when I was in my teenage years. Currently I love my beer, but only drink it on occasion as it makes me bloat-y and feel gross.<br />A few months ago I surrounded myself with less than stellar people and found myself going out to the bars on numerous occasions throughout the week. I was also not only paying for myself, but for them as well. Reflecting on this now I know that it was due to low self esteem, something that has changed quite substantially for me since then.<br />My low point? Passing out in the bathroom stall at a club because I was tired, not because I needed to vomit. Then I went to a friends house and vomited all over their bed, and in my hair. I couldn't stand up and needed help getting bathed. The next morning I realized I lost my phone and 40$. Karma is a bitch, and she told me straight up that I needed to change.<br />I think that reflection is a vital part to every aspect of our lives. That is the only way we can truly learn and grow from our experiences. Whether we reflect on our addictions (food included), exercise habits, friends, social gatherings or our career choices we are constantly evaluating our lives and striving to be the best that we can be!Amie@RunningOnHealthy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802081114235533094noreply@blogger.com
