All about the attitude.

August, you are right!! Try and keep an open heart and mind. With your strength, that's all you need to accomplish anything you set your mind too.

AW - I am going through my own S#$t tonight. But for gods sake stop feeling sorry for yourself! I have followed all your posts (am a supporter of yours) and I am not sure if you are looking for pity or real help though. You say its about attitude but then you post "sigh" - WTF? Pull your bootstraps up and stick to a plan. Don't post your going to detox and then talk about all the reasons holding you back when others here are trying to help you. I realize this is projecting - sorry Admins - but I truly want to help you and thought a little tough love might be the trick to pull you out of the downward cycle.

That is numbers I should call, have called& will be calling tomorrow before & after seeing my Dr. Once I got the full clear picture today, I made my plan & am sticking to it.

As for the attitude statement; that has to do w\ my ex. Sorry to be so vague.

There always *is* hope, AW! Is that horribly sappy?

Sounds like you still have feelings for the ex, AW. It must be hard since you're still good friends and she's your support system...
Anyway, stay strong. You're doing some good things to take care of yourself.

A few years ago my daughter introduced me to the fact that there are actual cupcake stores. (I'm a bit of a homebody) I laughed, said it was ridiculous, then she brought me a few from one of the stores. I'm on board now, what a marvelous business idea.
