Sobriety Gang (SoGa) - a support group for staying sober
Thanks, Jojo, I'm tearing up from your kind words. I have so many strategies and so much to be thankful for... but I'm still in the grip of this thing.
When those reports came out last year about everyone having a limited amount of self-control, I thought, okay, that explains it. I've always heard you can do three things well-- for me, it's husband, family, and work. That leaves no time for me. Gardening, dancing, aerobics, sailing, kayaking, motorcycling-- that's what has to yield.
I'm introvert off the scale in an extrovert's profession. I need a lot of time alone to balance the time I spend doing what I love-- working with children.
I just had the nicest email from a cousin who said, we noticed you are always there for your brother's and sister's families, and for your late father's friends, whenever anyone needs a helping hand. I started the school year exhausted from "being there" all summer.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still hanging in there.
