Much love Ron

You really surprised me with that zinger Ron!

I did not knowingly blame anyone but myself. I was frustrated with my inability to "get" it. Frustrated with what some people were telling me. Having someone tell me to go back out did in fact hurt my feelings. (Which I learned yesterday is a sign of my own ego and pride, among other things). Anyway. But I don't blame him, or anyone else for my relapses. Or me anymore, for that matter.
