Thanks T. I have in fact just recieved my Hope for Today and my group have let me borrow the 12 steps book.

You are right I am obsessing, this generally tends to be when I am alone!

I am an intelligent, fairly successful woman, who is very perceptive and has a focused business mind. But my mom has the ability to make me feel irrational and emotional - almost like she has some kind of hold over me???? I scratch my head sometimes as to what I am thinking and feeling the things that I do.

I look at some my older posts and wonder how I got to the stage of thinking that way? I sound sad and desperate but that's not the real me at all?
