One of the participants was sharing how sad she was that nobody in her family did anything to celebrate her birthday. The thoughts that came to her were \u201cIt\u2019s just another day, nobody cares\u201d. I\u2019ve heard this over and over again. The expectation, the disappointment and then the negative self talk about what the experience means.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is what I suggested to her: Tell people what you\u2019d like to do for your birthday. A dinner? A party? Do you just want a card and flowers or a full blown gala? Here\u2019s the truth. We teach people how to treat us. The people around us are not mind readers, so how about we just tell them what we want!?&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years ago, I decided that if I want to have a party, I was going to have to throw it myself, despite having a husband and girlfriends who technically COULD throw one for me. I just had been disappointed too many times so I decided to take matters into my own hands and I ended up having a potluck not once, but TWICE a year! One on my recovery milestone, and one on my birthday.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;What I can tell you is over the last 25 years that I started doing this, I\u2019ve had a TON of people over to the house, we\u2019ve had many many group pictures, tons of memories and so much fun!&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the surface it might seem like a trivial issue, but what I\u2019ve noticed is that those who have a resistance to celebrating, or even acknowledging their birthdays typically have deep seated self esteem issues. There are tons of self esteem resources online, and I\u2019ll actually be announcing a self esteem class starting in April, so check the SoberLifeSchool.com website for details.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons I heard for not celebrating a birthday was the sadness around getting older, which honestly is a tough one for women. But what I would like to submit for your consideration is that you have been through a LOT over the last year, haven\u2019t you? You have faced challenges, you do the best you can, you\u2019ve grown and evolved, and you\u2019re still here! You didn\u2019t give up. In my humble opinion, that deserves, at the very minimum, a little acknowledgement. Or a lot. I prefer a lot, but that\u2019s just me.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, birthdays come around every year, so why not decide now how you want to feel and own your experience? If this helped you to see things differently and you\u2019ve decided to do something different this year, please let me know by posting a comment on the ODAAT Chat Facebook page! There\u2019s a link to it in the show notes on the website at odaatchat.com \ud83d\ude42<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So back to today\u2019s episode, Dr Marks. We talk about what the one addiction is and I thought it was going to be about the addiction to distraction, but she had a unique take on it, and as soon as she said it, I thought, yep&#8230;bullseye! She also shares why most treatments fail and what to do instead. Its a wide ranging conversation, we cover a lot of ground so I hope you take away something that will help you in your own recovery. That\u2019s kinda the whole point, right??<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So with that, please enjoy (and share!) this episode, with Dr Donna Marks.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To get the book and find out more about Dr Donna Marks, visit: https:\/\/drdonnamarks.com\/ Hey Friend, thanks for hanging out with me today!
