Thanks Dee. Im working on recovery. I will get the nerve for an AA meeting. Im sure once I go I will think "well that wasnt so hard" It sounds stupid but Im used to tasks and deadlines in ways of getting things done. Since I decided to quit drinking I dont see an end. Its hard to explain. I put a time limit on it...like...if you dont drink for 6 months you are cured and the slate is wiped clean. I know it doesnt work that way and i get frustrated. I wish I could stop thinking about it and put it behind me. Like I said..its hard to explain.

I finally worked out I can't control other people

If I think someone has a point about things I've done, it really doesn't matter if they're a hypocrite or not - I'll try and better myself...

but if someone is just toxic for me, I leave them in the dust.
