I know this is cliché, but the truth will set you free.

Like myths, a good clichè is often the simplest expression of the most positive reality.

I've paid dearly in my life for virtually all of my...ahem..."deceptions," a euphemism for 'lies'. Both significant and trivial.

Hi Rosie - it's so good to see you back here.

We have to be ready. I knew I needed to quit for years, but just made half-hearted attempts. Unfortunately, I caused myself unnecessary grief by not stopping until I'd almost destroyed everything good in my life. After you tell your dr & therapist the truth, you're going to feel so relieved. Welcome back to SR.

Thanks. I'm rethinking going to that meeting today. I'm kind of a pathetic mess right now. :-(

Thats what recovery groups are for

Don't rethink doing something different, Rosie. It might be a gamechanger?

What you've done so far hasn't been enough, right?

do explore things you can add to your 'toolbox' - you deserve recovery

Didn't go to the meeting today. Within the next few days I will now that I've gained composure of myself.

I was just a crying hot mess so I stayed in bed all day. All I have to say is... Thank god for my cat! He knew I felt sad and came right to the bed to cuddle with me! He's like a therapy cat! :-)
