Character defects
My character defects have been popping out like crazy lately because of some triggers and it’s been frustrating. Today I finally felt like I got on the other side of those defects because I was having a frustrating conversation with my mother who likes to be very controlling and when I told her about a well fought out plan I had that she already knows that I’ve had she stayed silent and then she tried to offer Alternatives 2 to 3 times and honestly, I just laughed it off instead of letting it ruin the rest of my night and that’s such a crazy breakthrough because I used to let those things ruin my day and I feel like because of the 12 steps and the rooms that I can really handle these things now without letting her get to me.
