I Went Out With A Friend And Came Home Feeling Good!

[spiritofnow]

I went out with a new girlfriend and asserted healthy boundaries about this new friendship. I did not move her in (really, I have a habit of accepting people into my life way to quickly), or treat her as my long lost friend. I accepted the invitation to go out and got to know her a little more. It was Okay.

I did not get smashed, I ate a meal and had a few drinks over about 6hrs. I stayed in the now even though there were men everywhere and loud noises.

I came home and did not feel that all 'alone in the world feeling' even though I was physically alone.

I did not feel sad, depressed or have negative thoughts about my behaviour.

I am so happy to have achieved this!

Yay to me :wink:
