Thanks for the positive replies to my last couple posts. And for the support. The last few days have been rough around here. I just want to sleep! My mom is trying her damnedest to put me on a guilt trip about Thanksgiving, my 15 yr old is being an extra pain in the rear and I've got everyone wanting something from me all at the same time!!! My "people pleasing" days are over and it's tough on the folks that are used to gettting what they want from me. PLUS, an old drinking bud keeps calling me drunker than cooter brown boo-hooing about his life. I finally just had to stop answering the phone! Took today for ME. Worked till noon, went to a F2F, and it was a good one, then went and had myself a massage, came home and hit my knees. Feeling some better.....Best part, haven't thought about drinking..
Thanks for being here, you all.........
Love and hugs,
Doll
