It really is distracting from me taking care of myself. Thankfully I have my husband to help. It took him a minute to understand why I need him to do this for me. He gets it now and he is being my voice for me.with my boss and HR. It is better anyway. My boss has a history of getting too personal and spreading your personal info. I know my husband won't reveal any details and I know my boss isn't ballsy enough to ask him. Anyway, just taking it one day at a time and looking forward to getting well. My new meds make me pretty sleepy but for some reason I woke up at 4am. I'm going to try to rest again, we shall see what happens.
Let us know how your appointment goes.
Good thoughts your way. ❤️

Thought for the Day
In twelfth step work, the third thing is conviction. Prospects must be convinced that they honestly want to stop drinking. They must see and admit that their life is unmanageable. They must face the fact that they must do something about their drinking. They must be absolutely honest with themselves and face themselves as they really are. They must be convinced that they must give up drinking and they must see that their whole life depends on this conviction. Do I care enough about other alcoholics to help them reach this conviction?
Meditation for the Day
There is no limit to what you can accomplish in helping others. Keep that thought always. Never relinquish any work or give up the thought of any accomplishment because it seems beyond your power. God will help you in all good work. Only give it up if you feel that it's not God's will for you. In helping others, think of the tiny seed under the dark, hard ground. There is no certainty that, when it has forced its way up to the surface, sunlight and warmth will greet it. Often a task seems beyond your power, but there is no limit to what you can accomplish with God's help.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may never become discouraged in helping others. I pray that I may always rely on the power of God to help me.
