Thank you. I do know drinking is not an option for me at all. I just find it frustrating that this was not an issue when I was drinking. I do realize that is because it was stuffed so far down and I was so numb that it could not be an issue I could recognize. Although I am sure there were still signs of it going on even then; the hyperawareness (jumping any time I was touched with out expecting it), trying to fix everyone else, self esteem issues, issues with male authority figures, etc....

Thank you for everyone's input and suggestions. I do appreciate it. My thank you button does not work on posts so that it why I have not thanked anyone individually.
