My wife and daughter have been out of town for about a week now, and I only had a couple, "When they're gone I could get drunk" thoughts. Yesterday though, little things were disproportionately getting me pi$$ed off. Deep breaths and looking at the situations rationally got me back on the rails.
Not quite the hurdles I had to jump 14 months ago, but at least I learned the early warning signs that if left unchecked could turn into a long, dangerous, esteem shredding relapse.
Great to see more newbie yearlings
