The first People Pleasers Anonymous e-meeting is called to order. Thanks for stopping by. My name is Sherrice Thomas and I have been delivered from People Pleasing. Here’s the deal.
I discovered my addiction on a quest for better health and an overall better quality of life. Now, I want to share a tip with you, based on my learning. Do not live your life to please others. It can result in undue stress that leads to imbalance and bad habits. In order to overcome this issue, you must build a personal relationship with the Lord and seek him for decisions. Stop chasing prophecy and advice without seeking the true source.
I have found myself in the wrong career, with the wrong friends, and making wrong decisions in life trying to please everyone else. Now, my life is changing since I decided to please Jesus only.
I would like to thank you for joining us for the first PPA e-meeting. Hopefully, you read something that helpful to you.
Have you found yourself in a similar situation? Has this blog post struck a chord with you? If so, please comment. Your testimony can set someone free.

I LOVE IT……I too have struggled with “people pleasing” in my past. If I’m NOT careful and NOT seeking God’s will for my life; surrendering MY will DAILY – I can slip back into making other people my audience – which results in PP! SO, I’m focusing on pleasing an audience of ONE! Digging into the word daily to see how I can please Him. Thanks for sharing this – you are NOT alone at your PPA e-meeting.
I am a people pleaser and I never stop to think about what I am doing myself. I am that “YES, SURE I CAN” person who will cook for you, hand you my last dollar to my name. I am the one who will stop what I am doing and help you with anything. My vocabulary doesn’t contain the word “NO”. I am afraid to hurt others feeling and totally ignore my own. Family first, work, friends, housework and myself last. Today I am trying to build a true relationship with GOD. I am asking HIM to set me “FREE” from all the things that are not of HIM. First off my check list I would love it to be pleasing people.
Minority Scholarships – Thanks so much! I look forward to future dialogue with you.
Teri – Thank you for joining my “e-meeting.”
