i think we all know about isolating and being stuck in the disease of addiction and codependency (I'm a social person, too Callie!)
even when i KNOW to get out there, and do something good for myself, all too often i just don't. just wallow in the muck, like a pig in sh*t.
i need to build on the good feelings of doing the good things.
