It is Monday afternoon and I’m slacking on the chores. I am starting to feel better thanks to everyone here. I thank you all for your love and support. I had a soul-cleansing cry Saturday night after I got home and I’m trying to hold up to my promise to my friend Skip. I promised him I wouldn’t worry about him anymore. He would be disappointed at for being so upset. He was one to take what life gave him and do what he could to make it better then move on. As sick as he was he still had a smile on his face and a laugh that would bring a smile to yours. He was a very special person in my life and I know I was the same to him. I know this and I will always have this to lean on when times are hard.
Thank you again for being there. I know that coming here the past few days have kept me from blowing my recovery. This sort of thing would usually send me straight to the gaming room, to get drunk and lose myself in the machines. But I really never thought of doing that. I came here instead.
Well, the chores around here are not going to do themselves so I better get at it. (But maybe a nap is in order first….)
Peace and Love.
Patty






Patty, I'm glad you are starting to feel better. It is never easy to lose someone we love be it a friend or family.
Hope you enjoy the next few days, get some rest and have a Klondike bar!

Yes, I agree with Jenice.....treat yourself to something nice just for you. You have worked so hard and come so far in your recovery. Through good times and bad you have overcome the obstacles and the pain and continued to face these demons head on. You deserve all the blessings that life has to offer. I know all about avoiding chores...did that today myself. Me and Alien just seem to be really sleepy today....no real reason why except the change in the air pressure around here....finally cooling down, yeah! Of course now we'll likely have a rainy season that lasts until June, but it's still good. I thought about calling you today...not real sure if you wanted to be bothered....just know you are in my thoughts and prayers my friend. Try to find a little peace of mind in all the madness :)
