I know - teenagers, right? Fortunately my 16 (almost 17 yr old) has a good head on her shoulders and never got into trouble online. I don't micro manage it either - but I do keep in close touch with her and she tells me a lot of things, which is good. I feel like communication is so important at this age - an age when they'd rather tell you nothing! On the other hand, when my daughter is really troubled about something I'm the first one she comes to, and for that I feel very lucky.

I'm feeling stronger today, but I usually feel much stronger in the morning after a good night's sleep. I wish I could bottle up all the determination and willpower I have in the morning and spread it out throughout the day, instead of having a depleted reserve by evening (which is when I would break out the wine). Anyway, I've got a good day on tap and plan to make it through sober. One day at time, some days, for sure.
