I was warned not to let the finances get sloppy from a fortune cookie. Well, they have gotten sloppy. I in charge of all of them and I am not an accountant. I feel an ulcer coming on. Redirect: This time last year I didn't even have a job. AH worked part time and I had little to no financial control. I had no friends and his alcoholism was silently killing our family. Things are better now for me and worse for him. That's all I can do, I can't change things for him. I can only take care of myslef. I am working but not making money, just offsetting the debt slightly. Thinking about divorce alot. Scared I'll have to pay alimony because he's too much of a lowlife to earn a living. Oh, name calling, sorry I'm better than that. I have a long way to go in my recovery, but things will get better. I just have to be patient and have faith that hard work and endurance pay off in the end. Jamie

At times like this I try to stay in the moment. Not to look too far ahead because it only stresses me out. You didn't get in debt in a day and it won't go away any quicker staring at it...but it will help that ulcer progress faster!
Stay in the moment, keep reconginzing those things that have changed for the better and remember that you are making progress. One day at a time, one step at a time, you are making progress.
