Is there help available?

I hear you Patcha. It was most definitely my original addiction. I have never even talked about it really....just in that the way I hid and hoarded certain foods was no different at all than the way many of us have acted with regards to alcohol. I am better now....I am not sure, but maybe I can help.

Thanks everyone.
Still on the bus. Still feeling fragile. I wish I could talk about it, but my past experience tells me some things are better worked out on my own. Sorry to be mysterious. I just can't handle the well-meaning but sometimes hurtful remarks when I'm this vulnerable and I have nothing to give back right now.
Omigod, Omicron! Watch out, London. Sao, I'm glad you can take some time away from the crowds and that your daughter is being sensible too. I know we're right behind you with this particular variant. I'm booster-ed up and hunkered down with supplies. I swear I'm turning into a bit of a food hoarder. I have enough food to eat for weeks if I have to isolate.
Fingers crossed and prayers sent up that this will be the one to push us to wide immunity but for sure no one knows how this is going to play out. Thank God I'm not drinking.

Happy to see you bim.
Omicron is here in Manitoba, health orders restricting gatherings are going back into affect, and my wifes company is asking everyone that can to work from home. She's very happy about that.
So the plan today is shopping then isolating myself in the garage and making sawdust.

Whishing a peaceful weekend to all.

On the bus with the best people. 💗💫☮
I'm going to see my mom this morning. I have got to go grocery shopping, my most hated chore. My mom is so against me ordering, she says they mess it up. We've never tried it so, we don't know. Maybe I'll do it while she's in rehab. I have kind of a phobia of grocery stores. I get so anxious in them.
Mom will come home next Wed. She says she's been practicing stairs and walking a lot, I'm so glad. I hope all goes well.
I'm going to see her in a little while. God bless her. God bless my family situation. I haven't spoken to my sister who flaked on me and totally blew me and the family off for weeks. I want to be charitable, but I feel so disgusted with her that it's hard to be the bigger person right now.
Grateful for all of you. Love and peace to all.

Suze, your VW bus ornaments are toooooo cute; who knew there were so many; love ‘em.
Aly, I have used grocery delivery service a few times and found it to be good; you are able to designate acceptable substitutes for item unavailability in advance; you can even communicate with the “shopper” while they are gathering your items; delivery has been timely.
I read an article this morning about the spread of Omicron in our State; it stated that it is so easily spread that by February 2, 2022, nearly 100% of the people in our State will have been exposed - what?
There are many people in our state who are not yet vaccinated; I hope that the early indications that this strain is not as severe are accurate. Dragon, hiding in your garage and making sawdust sounds about right.
Stay safe, all.
Sending love to all and gentle hugs to those who need them.

On the bus as well - very happy to see so many familiar names. I'm not sure what the Omicron specific situation is here in AZ, but COVID cases are on the rise and the hospitals are getting close to full. We are supposed to do a little traveling over Christmas - keeping our fingers crossed.
