Hi Bernie!!!

Happy New Year to you too!

Yes. It's progressive.

Now, where is this question coming from?

Hi Seri!
Thank you, big hugs! No where really, it's just every once in a while, I need to remind myself. Thank you for doing that for me my friend!

It's definitely progressive. I watched my successful AM swan dive into financial ruin, losing all of her family, and she's still drinking. It's been 40+ years since she started, and the wheels started coming off in my early 20s. So, 10-ish years ago.

Happy New Year to you, too.

Thanks for the prayers.

But no, I would prefer to remind you, us, others, me . . . .

THAT the Friends and Family Side -- when it comes to Getting Better -- For/about us -- THAT for US Getting Better, things can be Progressive, too.

It is a choice, but WE can get progressively better.

That is where I am aiming my bicycle (our 7 year old has been practicing), yunno, you go where you are looking.

So for a New Year heading -- I am selecting:

Watching MY Lane.
Working MY Program.
Staying Prayed Up.
Making sure the kids are covered and loved.
Not being a part of OPP. (other people's problems)

The A's Mileage May Vary. Progressive or Not. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

And once it hits a certain "tipping point," it snowballs and goes very fast. It is so awful.

That goes for both sides of the street.

Yes, addiction is progressive, as can be codependency. Been on both side of the fence, and "not my circus, not my monkeys" works well for both

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
