Thanks Venus. No real pain now - just the numb / tingly feeling which I guess is not good either!
Early start for me today. I’ve got a few things to take care of, so I’ll need some startin’ fluid
Even with my numb leg, I’m feeling grateful for a lot of things this morning. Enjoy the weekend

Wow, fell asleep early and "slept in" til after 5! Startin' fluid time for sure 
Yesterday I attended an online meeting on the Smart Recovery site....it had been a while, but I recognized one of the girls from previous meetings, only now she is the facilitator! So cool....they have the video/voice option but I've never even used the microphone....I stick with chat
Edit to add: Their program is designed for other self-improvement issues as well....maybe it could help with your quitting smoking BBG....just a thought

Saw my psycho lady today. This time of year has always been difficult - FOO memories. I likened the way I feel to all of the negative emotions being all mixed into one bland colour- so to speak. So whenever anything comes across to me now- that causes any stress- I default back to the bland colour- all of it,to intermixed from decades of reinforcement to do any different.
She suggested to overthink- as I know I do, I analyse everything I do, think, feel- attempting to be the best I can...
I thought I was distracting from challenging these emotions, but she thinks my life active stuff is affirming and positive, not distraction- but growth and to embrace the good, as is likely the bland colour emotions will be with me always.
She also said I am compassionate to others, but not to myself- so that is my next 'thing' to attempt.

^ I expect she is highly trained in her profession, which sounds indeed like her vocation; and has a satisfying work/life balance with de-stressing and de-briefing techniques.
Can't think I've ever seen many films of the kind you describe, PJ

Sounds like your psycho lady knows her shhh, stuff. I have to assume the phrase progress not perfection applies in areas other than sobriety.
Let's all please give a thought for our guide:
Feel better soon bud.
