My favorite thing about myself is my capacity to love. I love many people, including my family, my friends, and my partner. Sometimes, though, I forget to show them I love them. I inadvertently do things they have asked me not to do again and again. I have been getting better about this lately, though.
For example, I used to be an active alcoholic. I used to take advantage of the hard liquor mixed into drinks at family gatherings. I would have a few swigs straight from the bottle when no one was looking. Now, I am still an alcoholic, but less of an active one. I try to respect my family’s boundaries and try to only drink what is served to me.
