When you were describing what it was like to be passing out bread while obsessing over the wine brought me right back to times that I have been in that situation. More that once. It is hard, so painfully hard. I too have walked away from being a people pleaser and dropped to my knees because I couldn't do it. I'm not going to tell you that these moments disappear but I will tell you that it does get easier.
