jkb...I'm so happy for you that you have put the drinking behind you. I know what you mean when you say it feels different this time.
Thank you for the kind words. Sometimes I think I am quite awesome, and sometimes (like last night...meltdown on my sons) I think I am very unawesome. I am honestly at a loss with dealing with 3 teenaged boys sometimes, but I can say this with certainty: I am far more capable now than I ever was drinking. If that is all I know today, then it is enough.
ps you should have hijacked Non's thread lol...he wouldn't have cared. He's cool like that.
