Thanks for the thanks Allie. You posted earlier about focusing on you. I think that's what we have to do (and thank God, my family understands this). My daughter told me a few months ago that I was more self-centered. At first, I recoiled in horror, but then I wondered if she saw me as more centered on self, which has an entirely different feel (and is true). Being the mom (and an alcoholic to boot), I have ALWAYS put myself last (and then played the martyr, if I'm honest). So AM I more self-centered, or more centered on self? I'm not sure and I don't dismiss her comments, by any means, but I don't think it's such a bad thing either. We HAVE to focus on ourselves in sobriety, because I think we lost "ourselves" somewhere along the way...

Anyways, about putting the drink off until tomorrow, I say do whatever gets you through

OK, enough philosophizing for me, I'm hungry! Have a well evening, everyone.

Hugs,
Seek

PS: ADAAT, Redshift (and anyone else whom I may have forgotten)...I hope you are OK....
