My weekend was a little rough. No real cravings, just little ones when I saw the neighbour's party bonfire, but that passed fairly easily.
But on both Saturday and Sunday I was pretty emotional, but not for any reason in particular. Just crying a lot, maybe I'm missing my mom (she died this spring) because her birthday is on the 29th. Also watched "Drugged - High on Alcohol" on Youtube and cried at the ending. I made my husband watch it too as a reminder for both of us as to why I'm stopping now and just how deadly serious this addiction is.
It's not for the faint of heart, watching that, but I hope it would be a good wake-up call for some and spare them the same fate.
Personally, I could never say "I'm not that bad", without adding "yet" to the end of that phrase.
Take care of yourselves, everyone, as we travel this road together. And hang on no matter what; life can be so much better.

madbird and NewLeaf-hope you guys end up having a good day even if you don't want to go to work :-) You never know when something good might come your way.
I'm writing this from work too, if it makes you feel any better. Haha. Oh Mondays.

People treat others poorly because they are broken or unhappy. Something happened in their lifetime that gave them the ability to survive while developing a talent for making others feel as though they are wrong.
My father had a very rough up-bringing and no matter what, he cannot see beyond that and be happy for others....super competitive (and selfish) because of that.
And by all means, I feel for those people.
Here's something that people do not strive for as youths:
"When I grow up, I want to mean to others and hurt their feelings and make them feel accountable even when it's my fault".
Ok, time to lay off of the coffee, but you get what I'm saying?...don't blame yourself.
