Today is the day
 
No more excuses. The house is clean. The bills are paid. I'm not going to let some stupid thing at work push me over the edge. This is it. 3/15/2015. Not an exciting number (I COULDA HAD PI DAY!!!) but it's my number so I will grow to love it, I'm sure.

Dodging plans today because those kind of plans tend to get me in trouble...

Meeting at 5:30.

Good luck too you!

I'm scared and sad, but I'm always sad so that's nothing new

I'm sorry you'rwe always sad. Is it part of drinking?
After you quit and get some time behind you, I hope the sadness leaves.
Congratulations on your resolve and plan and going to a meeting.
Best to you.

I still get scared :) but not nearly as sad.

I am on medication but I don't think it's helping.

My friend wants to go out but I don't feel safe in the environment he suggested. Maybe I should just suggest something else? But all he does is talk about work anyway.

you can do it. put the blinders on and just push through it. Its my best solution.
