I can instantly tell when someone has had a drink, taken a pill, is hungover, etc. I can tell when texting with someone, when on the phone with someone and when in person. It is a gift because I can tell when I need to get away from someone but it's also a course because there are some people around me who continue to lie about their drinking (my mother) and I would rather just not know. Anyone else have this super power?
Speaking of my mother, I have begun to pray to the higher ups for me to have peace with her. I don't care that she is killing herself with alcohol, I just pray that I am at peace with her. Unfortunately it's not an option to completely exclude her from my life but I rarely see or talk to her. She at least hides the drinking in front of me. Which is annoying because I know what she is up to but it's the only way she can be considerate of me because her disease is just so bad.
It's great to sober! Thanks for always being there to listen!! |
