What was the hardest personal goal you have set for yourself? First, I want to inform all of you that the hardest personal goal was staying clean and sober since 1990. The hardest personal goal was stop smoking cigarettes for me because I was smoking marijuana and cigarettes just to deal with stress in my personal life from 1974 to 1990. I actually started smoking marijuana and cigarettes because of peer pressure. Second, I want to say that my second hardest personal goal was graduating from the University of Toledo in Toledo OH. From Monday April 1, 1991 through June 14, 1996: I will admit that I struggled in College because I was using vulgarity during my classes & making things hard for my own self. At that time, I struggled with writing because I really was not prepared for College. Third, another one of the hardest personal goal was learning how to accept constructive criticism from other people. For a total of 22 years, I had to learn how to forgive myself & other people because I have decided to join the AA Fellowship in 1990. The AA Program taught me how to take responsibility for all of my sins, transgressions, & Iniquities. I also learned a whole lot more about Jesus Christ. I really got tired of the wrong people using me and abusing me as well. I also went to AA Treat because I wanted to stop drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana right along with cigarettes. I went to AA Meetings as well as treatment in order for me to learn a new way of life. I had to move out of town for a total of 5 years. I had to learn how to take accountability and become responsible for all of my actions. Fourth, I went to AA Meetings & NA as well. However, I had picked up a new addiction and it was sex. I spent a whole lot of money on women. I was only fulfilling my addiction to women. I spent an undetermined amount of money on just women. My AA Sponsor helped me to get my life back on track. I want to say that I had been used by some of them. My family members resented me for spending a lot of money on pornography and women. Fifth, I acquired this addiction to women because I was only making up for time that I was involved in failed relationships with women. I was actually scared of women. The hardest personal goal was stopping spending too much money on the women who were already in their own personal relationships with men. I stopped spending money on women because I got scammed out of over $18,550 dollars in Western Union Funds by engaging in online relationships with scammers and computer hackers because I was only reaching out for love. Sixth & Finally, what happened to me is that I became homeless in Charlotte NC twice and then homeless in my own hometown of Dayton Ohio. The sixth hardest personal goal was to start paying my bills & rent for my apartment that I have had for almost 14 years now. I had to become gainfully employed for 13 years. I have to still pay on my student loans from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This is a place that I worked for 8 straight years. Therefore, I have hurt myself & a whole lot of people in my own family members and friends. I have disappointed my family members by bringing a disease inside of my family members places. I actually tried to kill myself because I was ashamed of myself for getting scammed out of money. I used to be a deceiver and a person who only wanted to be loved by a very decent woman. I am the one who learned a lesson in my life by accepting Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I learned how to become honest with God Himself and Jesus Christ as well as other people in my life. I am very happy to write three books in a 23 year period. Thank you for reading my essay today 🙏.
What is Forgiveness Part 2 By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 8, 2021 Forgiveness Part #2 is simply about asking a very important question. How many times shall I forgive my brother? The answer is 70*7 = 490 times. I will admit that I have to work on this issue myself. This is simply because people has been cussing me out as of late.
