Oh I sound really ungrateful, I'm not. Honestly. I do love working with those kids and I really care. And I know I'm very lucky to have stopped drinking before it seriously affected my ability to do that job.
It's just at the moment, I want to think about myself and sobriety. I want to give myself every opportunity to work the steps properly and that means spending time on them. It takes me an hour to get home, I will cook dinner and head out to a meeting.
I know I probably sound completely self absorbed and selfish.
I don't mean to. I'm very lucky being me. Just wish I had more time to be me!
Thanks for the support guys xxx
