BF, "anniversaries" like that can be so rough. I'm glad you made it past the cravings.
Toots, great post! I'm beginning to find that I worry much less about what others think and at the same time I care more about others. I'm also just beginning to get better at setting boundaries earlier and more quietly rather than waiting until total frustration sets in and then explode.
WWS, you hit it - there is something very special about this thread. That's why I stay here. It seems to go in cycles and sometimes it gets fairly quiet but then ticks up again. Lately it has been really good. I still read and sometimes respond in Newcomers' but too much of that can at times be heartbreaking. This thoughtful group reinforces for me how much I appreciate where I am now.
